Looks like it isn’t even supported by OpenWrt, can I find a sense to this poor old device in 2023?

Thanks for any suggestion!

    I guess my first question would be: do you have a need that device can fill, or are you looking to take on a project for some other reason (education, boredom, etc.)?

    I honestly don’t see to what great use a router (and modem) that was discontinued a decade ago can be put that couldn’t be accomplished with less complication and less power draw by using a modern device. I’m not trying to rain on your parade, but knowing nothing else about your situation I don’t know that I can see any utility in a device like that anymore.

        Hey, that’s totally fair and I am definitely of a similar mindset when it comes to reducing e-waste.

        Do you have any significant coding or hardware skills?

      To add, I found a thread of someone attempting to find use in the same router. They seemed to have made some minimal progress over the last year, but it doesn’t appear they have anything functional yet. Seems the processor has little known about it, and there is precious little storage onboard.
