I have a few spare routers accumulated from moving houses, upgrading, home mates leaving theirs when they move etc.
So I was wondering what to do with these instead of throwing them out. Does anybody have experience with using a router as for example a media server, pihole , fan controller for the server shelf …
What OS would be compatible or are routers just to limited in their computational power?
For reference, i have: Speedport smart 4 plus, Fritz!Box 3270, Fritz!Box 7530, EasyBox 804

See if any of them support ddwrt openwrt tomato router or just Linux in general. You probably couldn’t run plex media server, but you can do ad blocking, vpn server, and basic nas. Works great for these tasks.
