It's a B90-755044-15 Rev. 5A. It shows a manufacture date of 1/2015, It is fairly new. I'm not certain but fairly sure it has the ability to set a static IP. From what I found before buying it, most people like this model. It seems to perform well plus it is IPv6 ready. While I couldn't get it to work internet wise, it does power up, the menus work and it connects except for the DSL line itself, wrong ISP. I also updated the firmware too. When I got the one made for AT&T, it was practically plug and play. The biggest thing I did was put in my user/password and cut off the wireless since I already have a wireless router. The biggest thing, it needs a power adapter and cables. It looks new. I don't see a scratch on it anywhere. If you can use it, let me know. As long as you have Frontier ISP, it should work fine.
