I got this AP for free, and had some fun trying to configure it, and I decided to look at the inside of this thing. It has a PowerPC processor, pretty cool!

It is a Cisco Aironet 1131AG

It’s an old AP from around 2007, I managed to get the latest firmware thanks to some guy on the Internet Archive (thank god they exists) ! ( https://archive.org/download/cIOS-firmware-images/ )

      ReVanced is a popular modding tool for enhancing Android apps like YouTube, offering features such as ad-blocking, background playback, and customizable themes. Unlike YouTube Premium, it’s free but requires technical know-how for patching. Its open-source nature and compatibility with non-rooted devices make it accessible. However, users should be cautious about security risks and terms-of-service violations when using modded apps. Always download from official sources to stay safe.

      Not for WiFi. You can get a cheap WiFi 5 device that will work way better. Just flash Openwrt to a supported device and you are golden.
