SSH into OpenWrt Router

We use Windows PowerShell (Win + X >> Windows PowerShell):

rm -r "~\.ssh"
ssh root@192.168.1.1
Get-Childitem 

next time just use ssh root@192.168.1.1

How to tell: DSA vs Swconfig

DSA (eg: Mi Router 4A, D-Link DIR-882, Linksys E8450)

swconfig list
-bash: swconfig: not found

Swconfig (eg: Tp-Link Archer C7, D-Link DIR-842)

swconfig list
Found: switch0 - mdio.0

For Swconfig please use this guide instead OpenWrt 22.03.x TMNet UniFi Configurations | D-Link DIR-842 (swconfig)
