Where can I find old/scrapped networking hardware (like a TP-Link Archer C7) for a research project?

I’m currently working on an academic research project involving Wi-Fi Sensing / CSI (Channel State Information) extraction. For this, I specifically need a router that has stable OpenWrt support and an Atheros chipset — the TP-Link Archer C7 is the perfect fit. Thanks in advance!

Where can I find old/scrapped networking hardware (like a TP-Link Archer C7) in Coimbatore for a research project?

I'm currently working on an academic project involving Wi-Fi Channel State Information (CSI) extraction. I'm looking for a router with a specific Atheros chipset—ideally an older TP-Link Archer C7(version: v2,v3,v4 or v5)—so I can flash OpenWrt on it.

Since I just need it for testing/flashing, I'm trying to find where I can pick up second-hand or scrap networking gear locally.

Aside from wandering around 100 Feet Road or Gandhipuram blindly, are there any specific used electronics markets, scrap dealers, or second-hand IT shops in CBE known for stocking older routers? Any specific shop names or areas to target would be incredibly helpful!
