This device is a wireless router working on 2.4GHz band based on
Qualcom/Atheros AR9132 rev 2 SoC and is accompanied by Atheros AR9103
wireless chip and Realtek RTL8366RB/S switches. Due to two different
switches being used also two different devices are provided.

How do I know which switch my router use?

"(dmesg / kernel logs can tell it)" How to operate?

""(dmesg / kernel logs can tell it)" How to operate?"

Log in via ssh, and run "dmesg | grep 8366" (without quotes)

Alternatively, for me, when I log in to the luci web interface on 19.07, and navigate to Network -> Switch, it apparently shows me which variant of switch is in use... "Switch "switch0" (RTL8366S)"
