Old Wireless Router.

Now that I have upgraded to using the Plusnet Hub, is it worth keeping my previous wireless router - Thomson TG585 v8?
I am having a long overdue clearout of old routers, phones, cables, etc.
It is quite amazing what can be accumulated over the years!
Many thanks for any advice.

Thanks for that Oldjim but could the Thomson TG585 be of any use if (when) the Plusnet Hub fails?

Thanks for that Oldjim.
I've just rediscovered my Burroughs desktop calculator, made in France c1970s.
Now that is an old survivor!
