Is it high enough to use as a door stop?
Gumtree has heaps of better routers for free
cheaper than a switch
Junk. Not much use left except for ADSL. don't bother with router use only.
I've got one of these, can do 100mbit over WAN. 2.4Ghz works alright assuming you're not in a built up area, can get 70mbps or so. Passable as a cheap second Wi-Fi AP. Seems stable enough
ADSL2+ is DEAD
Thats what can go wrong
Sellers cant even give these way so $8 is way too expensiveThis could potentially be good for setting up another WiFi point for VPN? Like if you need to connect to US/UK VPN you just got to switch your WiFi on the device to this?
Edit: If it is so useless that it is not even worth $8 why is there so many upvotes??
It has a ethernet WAN port. Which means you can connect to external network like NBN.
You'll still need a modem if you're not on FTTP - thank NBN Co for going with MTM.
Two potential use cases:
Switch (plenty of devices don't need gigabit)
4G (USB) routerYou can also use it as a Wi-Fi access point for a local network, or a simple WAN router.
The power adapter itself is worth more than $8.

These older routers can be surprisingly useful. I turned an old one into a movie server to iPad (DLNA) which worked well.
