   Is it a modem+router, or just a router?   
      
   Isn't there a label somewhere on it that has the model number?  Most   
   routers I've seen not only have a label with the make and model, but   
   also have labels listing its LAN Ethernet address.   
      
   If there really is no label, can you access the router's web pages or   
   TELNET to it?  [Use the router's LAN address (your computer must know   
   it).]  If even that doesn't find anything and it's a cable modem, try   
   http://192.168.1.100/ (Time Warner Cable's cable modems used that).
