It was a new DSL modem/router I wanted so hopefully I can cancel/send it back. Don't know what the hell I was thinking.
This
would be a better bet then, only missing Wireless AC which I'm not that fussed about.

Plenty of other router manufacturers out there.

The last one I bought must be coming up for 10 years old. It's still going strong at my mum's house to provide wifi for her tablet.
That was a linksys.

Thinking about it, I thought there's no way that wireless G could be that old.
Turns out it is
. Fuck me, what did we do before WiFi?

Well I recently bought a Buffalo router because I could install dd-wrt on it and the WiFi on the Virgin Superhub was flaky, that seems to be ticking along nicely. A lot of people seem to like Netgear and Linksys.
In the past I've generally just used the ISP routers. The BeThere and Sky routers have been fairly decent.
The only one I've had issues with was a D-Link router about 10 years ago because it couldn't cope with too many connections (torrents flooding it), but that was ages ago so I doubt it's an issue with modern D-Link stuff.

I thought it sounded like he just wanted to use the old as a switch? Maybe I misunderstand the question? If that is what he wants to do that's possible...

Me...earlier
Now, originally the plan was to do a straight out replacement
I would have done the straight replacement, then essentially had a spare router with two phone sockets...hence the original question.

I bunged dd-wrt onto an "acquired" Linksys WRT54GL in order to provide a wireless bridge in my living room, since neither my Sky+ box nor my Raspberry Pi have built-in wireless support. My main router is just the standard Sky hub and it works a treat for on demand and streaming videos to the Pi. Still might upgrade the bits at some point though as the setup does choke a bit with high-def stuff unfortunately.

I was initally looking at Open-WRT because it supported my TP-Link AP, didn't realise dd-wrt supported so many routers, loads!
