x01 D-Link DIR-825 Gb Router (Rev. B1 - 2010) - $25 OBO - TESTED
Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router - WLAN 2.4GHz: b/g/n - WLAN 5.0GHz: a/n
-x04 RJ45 Gb Ethernet ports, x01 USB2
(Atheros AR7161 rev 2, 680MHz, CPU Cores: 1) (Flash MB/RAM MB: 8/64)
Installed FW: OpenWRT 23.05.5 (20240925)
-With Power supply
-Flashing back to the D-Link legacy FW is a complex process using the built-in D-Link Recovery GUI, an old Browser (Firefox Portable 2012 or similar), and a Layer 2 switch.
-Running the D-Link legacy FW in a production environment is not recommended - it is very old (circa 2008 - 2013).
-The legacy D-Link FW is used to prepare the router for flashing modern FW like OpenWRT via the D-Link Recovery GUI only.
-This product was first released in 2008, with several HW revisions following until 2013 (discontinued).
-Runs great on OpenWRT! Note: The USB 2.0 port is disabled using this firmware due to the size of the flash memory (ROM: 4Mb). Adding the hot-plug r/w USB storage feature to the existing install (3.8Mb) requires at least 8Mb of additional free ROM.
-Minor signs of wear on the case.
-More information/specs: https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/d-link/d-link_dir-825
-Original D-Link files and firmware: http://files.dlink.com.au/products/DIR-825/REV_B/ (DIR825B1_FW206WWB05.zip)
-OpenWRT Manager for Android phones is available.

x02 D-Link DGS-105 Gb Switch Rev. C2 $15 ea. OBO - TESTED
5-Port 10/100/1000-Mbps Copper RJ45 Unmanaged Gigabit Metal Desktop Switches (Layer 2)
-With Power Supply
-Plug-and-Play - both work well
-All Ports tested multiple times with iperf3 using variable window sizing and 2 parallel streams. Large Transfers (1.10GBytes) at +/- 940MBits/sec (sender and receiver) - it is the expected result for Gigabit Ports. There is always some variability between test runs and given test parameters and D-Link's implementation of QoS. You can verify the results by running your own tests, if desired. Testing requires 2 PC on the same subnet connected through the switch being examined, and the iPerf3 software utility.

The Routers are mostly suited to individuals with Gigabit networks, hobbyists, people who might find an extra router useful to segment some devices (IoTs, for example) on an entirely separate physical network (no need to configure segments (VLANS), etc).
Note: The Linksys and Asus Routers support Wi-Fi 5(ac) and earlier (b/g/n) 802.11 IEEE standard protocols. The D-Link router supports the Wi-Fi 4 (n) 802.11 standard protocol and earlier (b/g/n). These devices do not support Wi-Fi 6/6E (ax).
All routers and switches are used and in working condition. All items are sold "As Is." The exteriors are clean. They are what they are.
All routers run well on the installed FW versions.
I do not provide Technical Support. Instructions for flashing, etc., are abundant on the Web. At your own risk. I will not take anything back if you brick it.
I will take Best Offer for all 3 routers together, the 3 switches together, or everything together. Lowballers will be ignored.
Devices can be shown working at a safe public location of my choosing in the M9P 3N3 Toronto (Etobicoke) area.
If you bring a laptop or tablet, you may connect to a router's WiFi or an RJ45 Ethernet port (requires RJ45 Ethernet cable) and log in to its GUI.
Thanks for looking :-)!
