Work are chucking out a “Cisco 887VA-M” integrated services router.
Anyone know if I can install some custom OS/firmware via the USB on the back?
I expect this is just e-waste but maybe it has some use as emergency switch :)

Well it says it’s PoE
That’s neat, not had that before. All that comes to mind is a LAN security camera system.
Security cameras with a central continuous recording system + alerts and automations… plenty of fun to be had. Also wifi access points on poe depending on the interface speed. Got those 2 at home and it has been a treat so far.
Nice. Just received my parcels today for this fun. Can’t wait for tomorrow and toy around.
You can get PoE to USB adapters as well which simplifies wiring to random IoT hubs you may have.
