    From poindexter FORTRAN@1337:3/178 to All on Mon Dec 1 08:53:12 2025

    I did my once-a-decade e-waste run, tossed out all of my old routers (with the exception of my WRT54G, which I want to make into a Raspberry Pi case...)

    I have a wifi dead zone in my house in my kid's room. I thought about running powerline adapters to the space and setting up a crappy router as an AP.

    BUT THEY'RE ALL GONE.

    Oh, well - I should pick up a cheap wifi 6 router today.

    Ah a good de-cluttering, how did that feel?

    Aha! That's how it felt. :/
    What will you do now?

    I have a great thrift store near me with a computer and electronics
    section. I'll keep my eye out for a cheap router.

    (My office router/AP was $5, a Netgear R8000. You have to keep checking
    back, though, you never know what they're going to get.)
