This is a continuation of questions that arose from #2966
Let's create a new issue to discuss this under ^^
Gluon uses model names for it's devices. But it doesn't do it for all supported devices, yet.
I could fix this with a PR, if desired. What's the maintainers' opinion on that?
The Mikrotik hAP AC² should/could actually be renamed to RBD52G-5HacD2HnD-TC?
An example of the labels Aruba prints on the back of their devices:
Aruba InstantOn AP12 (RW)
InstantOn AP11(D)/AP17 are clearly marketing and not model names.

gluon device names: model name vs marketing name, cleaning up existing device names
model vs marketing name, cleaning up existing Gluon device names

Naming in the target files is determined by OpenWrt, this must match what libplatforminfo reports for the autoupdater to work (adding aliases or manifest aliases when different devices use the same image or image names have changed). If the name of a device is wrong, that is a bug and must be fixed.
In the docs, listing alternative marketing names sense.
I just stumbled across devolo and their MT numbers.
Those are probably just type numbers and don't count as a model name, right? https://www.devolo.de/support/ce

here it says hAP in brackets
Would additional names in the supported_devices.rst be allowed? I feel like they have a use.

Zyxel WSM20 (Multy M1) <- would work for me, but your decision.
More examples where the marketing name was preferred:

same goes for Aruba:

Line 192 in ced0cca
model name appears to be actually: APIN0303
