Are these in any way still useful? I've got a pile of them. I think I paid $20 ea., for some WNR2000 v2 units. I used to flash them to DD-WRT, but then the stock firmware finally got updates for IPv6, and the DD-WRT firmware was too big to fit in IPv6 support. (4MB flash memory, not a lot.)
So, I'm wondering if I should sell them cheap, or junk them.
I bought a pile of Tenda "High Power" AC1200 routers, first five were $20 ea., second five were $12 ea., so average of $16 ea. I was hoping to either keep them, as they have Broadcom chipsets, until Tomato or DD-WRT supports them, or resell them for $25-30 ea.
So, if an AC1200 router (with somewhat gimped factory firmware, although it does have WDS and WISP modes), sells for $20., I guess that would mean that the N300 routers might be worth even less? Or not so, because they can do DD-WRT, and the AC1200 routers can't, yet.
Edit: I've got some Linksys / Cisco E2500 v1 routers too, all flashed with the newest Shibby Tomato.
The downside of all three of these routers, is that they only have 10/100 ports, which is a bit limiting for a LAN, but not so much for internet access, unless you have a 100Mbit/sec or higher package. (Which my friend did eventually upgrade to, so I upgraded him to a $45 TrendNet AC1200 gigabit router, from one of my N300 2.4Ghz routers.)
