8 Great Uses for Old Wireless Routers

Don't throw away your old 802.11g routers just yet. The new slick-looking 802.11n routers may provide higher speeds and performance, but there are still many ways your old gear can help out, including extending your wireless coverage, improving a new network, assisting in offering public Wi-Fi, providing network authentication, or enabling secure remote or site-to-site VPN connections.

1) Extend coverage by using it as an AP

2) Relieve 802.11n routers from supporting 802.11g

3)Make it a repeater to take the signal further

4) Use it as a wireless bridge

5) Offer VPN connections or connect offices together

6) Turn it into a hotspot

7) Make it a RADIUS server
