Old BT router - what to do with it?

[keithp]

Hello

In 2022 we were upgraded and given a new BT router, any idea what I do with the old one please. I dont have any packaging - and it was provided around 4-5 years ago.

You could repurpose it as wireless access point.

You could call customer services and request a returns bag.

You could take it to your local recycling centre.

You could sell it on eBay

Just chuck it in bin, ain’t worth duck all to anyone.

You could use it as an ornament. I have a 'friend' who has an interest in old phones and televisions. His got some of these things scattered around his house he shares with his mother, notably the telephones and even old metal gas kettle on the gas hob although I don't think it's used. Personally, I loathe clutter - a bit of a minimalist I suppose.

I bet his mother is really pleased.

In fairness the TVs are in his bedroom on a series of shelves.

Sort of guessed he lived with mum before you mentioned it

I guess you are trying for a record of pointless posts.
