Anyone have any ideas what to do with an old linksys wireless b router.

I have upgraded and it seems like a waste just to throw it on a shelf. I was love to turn it into a bridge but don't this it is possible.

One thing you could do is make it into a nice almost like 600 dollar router. http://tinyurl.com/oug4p
That is what i did with my old wireless g router now it works amazing much better.

Hope that is an idea or you can take pictures of you smashing it upload and we can watch it

Load OpenWRT (http://openwrt.org/) onto it. 8-)

This is great. I have some old routes lying around and will give it a shot.

If you have any dead spots you might be able to use it as a repeater, 802.11b speed is better than no speed at all.

I use my linksys (wrt54gl) as a bridge with dd-wrt. Works great!

For some reason I think this might confuse the postman:)

I'll give some of the above ideas a shot. Thanks everyone.
