==== Useless-Seeming Gear ====
== Power tools ==


A lot of the older gear (including the linksys wrt54 routers which we now have a big bin of) is starting to seem useless. However, we should keep in mind that they can still serve as wired routers and/or switches:
* Makita impact driver (battery powered)
* Makita drill (battery powered)
* Makita battery charger
* 3x Makita batteries


* In a couple instances, we've had sudoers report that their home network modem serves a 10.* home IP range, which conflicts with our mesh IP system. In these cases, we can send someone home with a  crappy router (wouldn't even likely need openwrt) which they could connect to their modem and put in between the modem and their mesh access point. The crappy router could serve a 192.168.1/24 range and do NAT translation which would allow the mesh node to operate.
== Testing ==


* A lot of our longer range gear (ubiquiti, etc.) only has one ethernet hub. That makes it less than ideal for folks who want to run their own services. If we use the crappy router as a proper wired router, we can add network attached devices to run services. This could include network-attached storage, raspberry pie/beaglebone black mini-servers/other server machines.
* Two ethernet cable testers (need batteries)
