Most of the time they send a packing slip for the Rev A-D that says not to return it. Not sure if that was in the box or not. They will not reuse that router, or send it back out. I have an old rev D on my shelf. Generation 1 routers usually do not need to be returned.
I know at first when they sent replacements for the old revisions, they did want them back, that was years ago. I know I sent my first revision A back to them and received a revision D. When I was sent the gen. 2 rev. E, they said keep the D, or send it to the recycle. I kept it because it could be used for a bridge if I ever needed one. But the rev E, I believe needs to go back. I think the box has been on my floor too long. My rev E has been replaced with a rev I. My first FiOS router with 15/5 was a Netgear with no MOCA or TV. Those days if you had TV, they installed a NIM-100 MOCA bridge. By the time a cable TV franchise was issued in my county a bit later, the Actiontec Rev. A was out.
Netgear
Then Actiontec
Rev. A
Rev. D
Rev. E
Rev. I
So I suppose I am on my 5th router. This one will stay for a number of years I am sure. It supports gigabit, and if I need any faster wireless that will be my issue. Now I am a happy Quantum 75/35 user. Wishing for 150/65 or higher some day.

When it has no label take a look at the serial numberCSJACSJBCSJCCSJDthat fourth letter is your revision
