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 :)

        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.

        You can get PoE to USB adapters as well which simplifies wiring to random IoT hubs you may have.
