I recently purchased a 'refurbished' Airport Extreme Gen. 5. It came with no documentation and hermetically sealed in plastic, secured in bubble wrap and foam peanuts (Oh no. The enviro weenies will after this shipper.) I was concerned that I even received a gen. 5 let alone a refurbished unit. For what ever reason, Apple chose not to emblazoned the model number on their devices. Not even on the label near the serial number.
So I went on the hunt as to how I can verify that this is an A1408 Airport Extreme. After about an hour poking around on the Internet I finally found this site. There may be others but this one worked for me.

I remember people posting information from a website about their Mac based on the serial number. I've tried searching, but I can't find the thread.
You can enter the serial number of any Apple device and find all the details about your specific unit.
