I received a R6700v2 instead of the desired R6700. Returned.
July 28, 2017: They now seem to be shipping "R6700v2" instead of the desired "R6700". Unfortunately the V2 is a different radio chip, that's currently NOT compatible with DD-WRT firmware. Luckily I was immediately able to find the one spot on the box that tells the truth: Left-side box edge "Product Contents" says "R6700v2" (see my picture). All other places, including model/SN sticker, just say "R6700". So luckily since the box was unopened, still sealed in plastic, I was able to initiate a no-hassle return. I see that the Amazon page fine-print gives a vague warning: "Product Alert: NOTE: Box might state, either “R6700” or “R6700V2”. In my opinion, that's like buying a car and you'll get either a "Porsche" or "VW Beetle". I took a chance, but they sent me the VW Beetle ...an okay model, but not the Porsche I was expecting. :-( Minus three stars for the old-switcheroo (bait-and-switch?). I'm keeping two stars for initial good price (seventy-nine bucks with Amazon coupon) and for the one truthful "R6700v2" written on the outside of the box, allowing for an easy return.
