What do I do with old router ?
 
Question says it all. Do I throw it ( safely of cause) away :confused:

I'd keep it as a back up, or extension.

Depends what the router is.

Many can be used as an additional access point to extend your wireless range, but some aren't useful for this either.

Oh God.


Might I suggest you burn it in a fire?

That would probably give off toxic fumes. I'd recommend using thermite, so any toxic waste is also vaporized.

Mount Doom should do the trick.

I got my gear upgraded with a superhub today, so I have a netgear router twiddling its thumbs. I'm thinking of piggybacking it to extend range. is there a way I should attempt this procedure?
The netgear router is about 18 months old (got the gaming router because it was better) and bar from the wireless broadcast signal needing to be changed, I see no reason not to keep it in active service :-)

Re: What do I do with old router ?
 
The superhub doesn't make a very good router, so my advice would be stick it in modem mode and go back to your netgear.

Re: What do I do with old router ?
 
just as an addon, what is the actual range of the superhub as regards 'picking up a signal'?
still buzzing a week on (clearly not used to all this fancy technology, but hey - sticking with the learning curve!)
;-)
