I went to a GoodWill today and saw on the shelf a 2 pack of AC-1034 Google Nest Wi-Fi routers with the long USB-C power cords. They were both in a plastic bag and were priced at $10. I did not do much research while I was there as it was right near closing time.

I got home, wiped them down as they were a tad dirty and then did some research on them. After doing that research I am torn if I should even keep them or just toss or donate them back. Or toss the routers and keep the USB-C Power cords lol

I currently just use my ISP modem/router and its got Wi-Fi 6 and does A-Ok.

Any input would be appreciated.

I have had AT&T U-Verse for like 17 years. Over the years I got upgraded equipment and loved it and still do love it. However, my budget could no longer withstand the price hikes and was at almost $240 monthly for the U200 package with no premium channels and another price hike was on the way and they could not find anymore promos, so I had to cancel, but kept the internet. I will miss it to say the least.

I was told that I was going to get an email with a barcode to use and bring all my equipment to a UPS store to turn in. I got it all unplugged, dusted off, wrapped up the power cords and remotes and had it ready. Well, I got the email today and they are asking me to dispose of it and or recycle it as they don't want it back. Does anyone have any ideas on what else all this stuff could be used for? I would hate to recycle it and learn that I could have used it for something else later on. I do have to keep the gateway for the internet.

I have:

1 DVR - Cisco - ISB7500

3 Wireless Receivers - 2 Cisco - ISB7005 and 1 Arris VIP2500

1 Wireless Router for the Wireless receivers - Cisco - VEN501-AT

4 Remotes - 2 Older Gray and 2 Newer Black type

Thanks
