Yes, in 2021, we’re staying topical as fuck with the Original Xbox DVD remote.

But one of the items that were scheduled for recycling/destruction was this Linksys E8500 router. This was super-odd to us because routers like these typically go for almost one-hundred U.S. dollars. Now, it could be dead for all we know! So we decided to take a chance while at the same time giving money to a charitable cause. Fifteen U.S. dollars later it was now in our possession. Time to roll our lucky dice! Read on if you want to know more.

Perhaps they’re just trolling hard? Regardless, let us go with the first scenario and break it down for the people out there. Also be sure to check out this FAQ which people can read for other basic questions as well.
