Netgear isn't the only one. The silliness is obvious on several of the
support sites where you have to look at pictures and serial numbers to know
which "v" you have, and they all have different firmware/chipsets/actual
manufacturers. Netgear says there is no external appearance difference
between the two. Either they are color blind, or some of the v1 had black
plastic.

Too bad about this one. I liked the Netgear. The v2 seesm to have been
out for almost a year, so I guess it's a keeper as far as Netgear is
concerned, or they bought so many in one shipment that they have little
choice.
