What is the motivation for this?
The router was originally marketed as "WNDR3700v2" and that is both in the
packaging and also in the printed label in the router itself. The "v2" is not
a typical separate version number like many 6.1, 3.21 type of revisions next
to the serial number, but it has been part of the device name.
Clear image of my WNDR3700v2 here:

To my knowledge the current naming enables pretty smooth
upgrading/downgrading between 19.07 and master, as well as with ar71xx and
ath79. Changing the name in one place might cause bumps to those sysupgrade
paths.
