My first router. It's retro now? Is that a thing?

Follow

@onfy lol I still have a DIR-600 here somewhere that my ISP let me have

@noiob I once found an identical router at the thrift store... didn't buy it.

@onfy it's pretty useless these days but I think I could put OpenWRT on mine if I wanted to provide free wifi with Freifunk

@noiob OpenWRT or DD-WRT...?

(Back in the day, I just had a DOCSIS modem, so I got this so I could go online with Wii etc...)

@onfy one of those lol

yeah I also have a big ol' Cisco DOCSIS modem lying around I can't do anything with

@noiob Modem was a rental, and also swapped for DOCSIS 3 long ago, that was a major improvement. Also the Cisco modem they used was a real trooper.

@onfy I mean yeah this was also a rental (included with the contract) but they didn't want it back

@noiob ISPs here tend to be really anal. Not sure what they do with the old equipment.
