Depends on how much you paid and how much you care about netwok speed. rev I is a N router with  gigabit ports. I was concerned more aboout the ports than the fact it is an N router. Not sure how much you paid. If it more than 20 bucks, I would send it back. A new rev I is 74.99 from verizon (plus shipping?) I think the quantum gateway is on sale as well. Dont quote me on that.

Yes, the Quantum gateway is currently on sale for $99 until 1/17/2015.  The Quantum router is a dual band, 802.11.ac device. Verizon has announced it will get guest WiFi and additional features in a future firmware upgrade.   Details here:

You can get a newer router for $0.00 + S&H or a Rev I. for $75 here:

The "Router upgrade" may be a Rev I, or an older model.

Enjoy.
