Use a spare router as a server
Use a spare router as a server
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

Router like this are very low spec for example Fritz!Box 3270 has 360 MHz 1 core CPU, 64 Mb of RAM and 16 Mb of Flash. Only thing you can do with them is flashing OpenWrt, but its latest version doesn't support devices with or less than 8 Mb of flash and 64 Mb of RAM.
