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: BT ADSL Home Hub 5, Type A with PSU suitable for OpenWrt (City of Bristol BS9) Expired 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.
