Hello everyone! If I use luci, I can see my router model on first page (for example: Model TP-Link TL-WR741N/ND v4).
But how to see router model using SSH, without luci?

Or these alternatives:

root@OpenWrt:~# head -n 4 /tmp/board.json
{
        "model": {
                "id": "netgear,r7800",
                "name": "Netgear Nighthawk X4S R7800"

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /tmp/sysinfo/board_name
netgear,r7800

root@OpenWrt:~# cat /tmp/sysinfo/model
Netgear Nighthawk X4S R7800
