Router recycling
Does anyone know of any ways to reuse or repurpose a functioning netgear router? Thanks!

you could use it as an access point, I used my old netgear dsl/router as an access point. Mine is a little older so don't know if converting it to an access point is different than mine. Of course you need to disable the dhcp part of it.

You can also just give it away to someone who needs one. No need to clutter your home. I use Freegle to advertise when I have something to give away for free, and there's almost always someone who does within a day or two.
