Found it in the cupboard is it usefull for anything or should it go in the e-waste bin?

Moving house later in 2021, having a cleanup.

Which model ? A/B ?

Not a big fan of them myself, always had fights with them holding port maps etc.

Got a brand new one sitting in the cupboard tho for emergencies ;)

^^^ This! My backup router was a lifesaver during lockdown (for the neighbour). The internet pipe is a pretty tenuous link to the world, work and sanity when you can't just pop out to get a replacement.

They are handy to have lying around. Even can act as a half decent AP if needed, or to bridge a VDSL connection.

i'll hold on to it , it could be reused in the new place or a backup

Mind you im working out the cable runs for the new place, i have a count of 32 ethernet ports so far , but thats for another thread!
