What To Do With Old 802.11b Equipment?

Posted by timothy on from the confuse-the-wardrivers dept.

CyberSlugGump writes "I am trying to declutter, and I have come across my cheap, off-brand, consumer-grade 802.11b wireless routers, PCMCIA cards, and USB adapters. The routers would still be good as 4-port 100Mb switches, and the other devices have at least 32-bit Windows XP drivers available. However, lack of security beyond WEP and the age of the equipment makes me wonder if it is worth any time putting it to use."

    When you don't want old computer equipment, you give it away on your local Freecycle. I thought everyone knew that.
