Mine is tucked away on a shelf somewhere. I couldn't get rid of it either. I ran DD-WRT on mine, and the only reason I took it out of commission was because of better speeds and more wifi devices. Figured I'd keep it in case I needed a quick backup, but now it's probably so outdated all our devices would strongarm it, and I've updated routers a couple of times already since then (went to AC, then to AX).

Loved that thing, though! First router I ever flashed with new firmware, and was the timeframe I started tinkering with IPv6 via a he.net tunnel. Good times. ;)

Regards,
Nick
