Living in an old house of three former cottages in a row, divided by three foot thick chalk walls plus my office above the garage on the other side of the courtyard, WiFi connection was problematic ! Many years ago, I solved the problem of internet access throughout the house by piggy-backing eight BT routers, stationed suitably around the cottages and in the lofts.
The system worked well until anno domini set in, and I started having to replace them. Eventually, I looked around the market and found a much better alternative - a 'Deco 'system which just has four inter-linked wired stations which is fantastic - full flood wi-fi throughout. I should add four is overkill and I could have got away with three, possibly even two. But never mind, the wires were already in place and just needed connecting.
That now leaves me with half a dozen old routers. Question: Are these old routers likely to be of any use to anyone these days? I am loathe just to throw them away if there might be a use for them by someone else.
I would not want anything for them if I could find a home for them but I have no idea whether it would even be worth advertising them on something like eBay.
Any comments would be welcome.
