Free: 4x TP-Link TL-WR841N wireless routers (City of Bristol BS9) 4 x TP-Link TL-WR841N wireless routers (hardware versions 9.2, 9.3, 12.0, and 14.1). Basic single-band (2.4GHz) N300 routers, previously used for home WiFi. All functional — good for basic home setups, spares/backups, WiFi range extenders in repeater mode, or hobbyist projects (note: firmware/third-party support like OpenWrt varies by hardware version, worth checking before assuming interchangeability). With power supplies.

Free: Ubiquiti Security Gateway (USG) with original PSU (City of Bristol BS9) Ubiquiti Security Gateway (USG), complete with original PSU. This is Ubiquiti's UniFi-range router/gateway, previously used as part of a home network setup. Ubiquiti officially discontinued and end-of-life'd the USG in November 2024, so it no longer receives firmware or security updates, and current versions of the UniFi Network app/controller can no longer adopt it — so best suited to hobbyists, labs, or anyone wanting to tinker with UniFi/EdgeOS gear rather than as a primary internet-facing router.

Free: Pair of Solwise Homeplug-AV 200Mbps (PL-200-AV-TWIN) (City of Bristol BS9) Two adaptors, working condition, with setup disc The Solwise NET-PL-200-AV-TWIN is a pair of 200 Mbps HomePlug AV powerline adapters designed to create a network using existing electrical wiring. These adapters utilise the Qualcomm Atheros INT6400 chipset and support 128-bit AES encryption for secure communication between devices.

Free: BT ADSL Home Hub 5, Type A with PSU suitable for OpenWrt (City of Bristol BS9) Chipset: Lantiq XRX200 SoC with Atheros wireless — the well-documented, well-supported combo for OpenWrt. One of the more popular "cheap DSL router to hack" devices in the OpenWrt community. You get a proper VDSL2/ADSL2+ modem, 5x gigabit ports with real VLAN-capable switch, and wifi all under OpenWrt — not just a dumb AP. The catch: flashing needs UART serial access (a "chopstick"/jumper-wire rig into test points on the board, no soldering required with the popular method), then TFTP-booting the install image over Ethernet. It's a well-trodden process with guides — not experimental — but it's more involved than a stock web-UI firmware upload.

Free: W2210X Black Toner Cartridge equivalent to HP 207X (City of Bristol BS9) These W2210X toner cartridges were supplied by Printerland to fit HP M255, MFP M282, MFP M283 Printers. They didn't work in my printer as the firmware refused to play nicely with non-HP cartridges. Maybe you have a printer with an older firmware, or you are up for some firmware hacking. 2 available.
