I guess my first question would be: do you have a need that device can fill, or are you looking to take on a project for some other reason (education, boredom, etc.)?
I honestly don’t see to what great use a router (and modem) that was discontinued a decade ago can be put that couldn’t be accomplished with less complication and less power draw by using a modern device. I’m not trying to rain on your parade, but knowing nothing else about your situation I don’t know that I can see any utility in a device like that anymore.
I would like to find it a purpose because I don't like to just put everything in the bin, maybe I can learn somethin idk! :D
Hey, that’s totally fair and I am definitely of a similar mindset when it comes to reducing e-waste.
Do you have any significant coding or hardware skills?
