hi, I have an old D-Link dir 825 router with me in which i want to insatall openwrt, but howewer i am unable to find the hardware version of the device, where can i find the version of the router,..
from dlink official link:
https://www.dlink.com/uk/en/products/dir-825-xtreme-n-dual-band-gigabit-router
ps: I would like to point out that I don't have this router and looking at the specifications of this product it is really old (8/64 or 16/128) so if your aim is to do some tests then go ahead and if you intend to put it into production you should think about a replacement...

Bottom sticker ?
It's not the same sticker in my router, the only thing there is serial number, no hardware version
Is it some provider re-badged version?
No it's dlink dir 825
that doesn't really answer the question though ...
I am not a bat to echolocate through fog.
The only thing looking like version is
OIR825IIN J1E
you may edit pic away,
Other things in barcode:
8-number seemingly random wifi initial password
MAC address A4:2A:95 D-Link International reflected in barcode
Serial number U82R------- reflected in barcode.
What now -
browse through device web config and look for logs and where to set up more log detail
Then copy paste logs into e.g. notepad++ and look fro mtd/ubi partitions (show us those lines)
When linux starts to boot you get something like:
[ 0.000000] Linux version 6.1.0-28-rt-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc-12 (Debian 12.2.0-14) 12.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.40) #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Debian 6.1.119-1 (2024-11-22)
[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-28-rt-amd64 root=UUID=ZZZ console=ttyS0 quiet
[ 0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map:

[ 0.000000] extended physical RAM map:

First line at Linux boot says "Linux version" that may be followed by machine model and RAM in parameter line or right after, in much more compact format than x86 PC.
