I'm pretty sure this is the correct forum to post this in, so I'm not breaking any forum rules.

Okay, the RT-N12 has revisions B,C, and a hyphen "-".

Question's simple, what does the hyphen "-" in the revision mean?


This might be a stupid question, but I really want to know.

You said it and I tend to agree..Wink
It does of course mean that there is no revision, was no revision letter for the first version of RT-N12.
It is common to use a hyphen in tables to indicate N/A (no that is not North America, it means Not Available)

I thought the hyphen meant that it doesn't matter what revision (because it doesn't have a revision) as long as it is this model of a router.(RT-N12)



Oh, so the hyphen simply means no revision because this is the first version of the router that came out and hence doesn't have a revision number? Am I right on this?

Beware of the build number....
