I have an ac1900 wifi router that isn’t in use and had support dropped by the vendor. My home network is already set up, so I don’t have a need for it – otherwise, I’d probably flash OpenWRT on it. Any ideas for what I could use it for?

    I have same router, spare. So, I went into settings and turned it into a bridge and put it in my garage for stronger signal there.

      Seconded on this…

      Use it in an area of low signal and put it on a different channel.

      Alternatively, if it has as detachable antennae, you can put a “yagi” on it, and point the “very directional antenna” at your driveway or the backyard or the local park etc…
