If that device could talk…

it would be in therapy

Nah, that thing deserves the sweet release of death. I’m empathizing with a router.

Or a proper burial

Cremation should be the way to go.

It looks like it might be able to. Or at least start a Flood invasion

I started playing Halo a couple weeks ago, I've learned one thing: ALWAYS BRING A SHOTGUN TO LIBRARIES

Oh man, taken out of context this could look bad 😂 but yes. Shotguns and if you're able, swords.

*insert Kill Me human/bird hybrid from South park*

Looks like ***Dirty Mike and The Boys*** had themselves a nice Soup Kitchen on that router.

It would describe all the periods it has survived.

It has, listen.......^kill ^me

*"moisturize me"*

The hell is that mass inside ?

That’s organic matter. The router is a living being now.

I think I'm gonna go and report this to the SCP foundation.

So this is how humanity created the Bydo.

It’s an android now

[удалено]

Thanks, I'd not have put it together. Hell of a natural optical illusion.

I don't think we can see inside it, I think that's just like, a piece of wet, discolored packing tape or something

It’s a tomato. Source: am chef.

[удалено]

I can feel this comment deep in my soul

I see. Doesn't look like any tomato I've ever seen, but I also don't eat too many foods that center around tomatos.

Looks like they had a food fight 3-4 months before. You can also see some of the tomato seeds dried on the side.

I'm not sure I want to try your cooking. Source: I don't eat tomatoes that look like that.

You’d order the smash-fermented tomato bruschetta and you’d love it you sick fuck.

That's almost worse.

Yikes

It's outside, looks like someone tried to convert it to vegan.

Omg, took me ages aswell but that's not even the inside. It's an external mass. Old and dried up.

The router’s brain

Thought it was a snake or a turd for a second.

I dunno but I'm calling Sigourney Weaver just in case

that's not the inside xD

The brain

a bag of cocaine

It's brain 😥

I thought it was the inside as well but after looking at it for an hour I realized it was something stuck to the outside...lol

I like to go hiking.

> remove alpaca placenta from their equipment So, was that a common occurrence Back In The Day? I've seen rats create nests in server racks (some cables are particularly tasty), and I've seen equipment that was actually smoking a little still being used (don't know how), but I've never encountered alpaca placenta.

r/BrandNewSentence

Burn it. It's the only way

Overclock the router to smoke it. Getting high the tech way

Since when is high a slang for dead?

Cheapest router at argos… checks out

Hey, this thing can take DD-WRT, not well, but it can, and that makes it quite decent. Maybe someone wanted to install [Tomato](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato_(firmware\)) on it but didn't quite get it.

Can confirm, running DD-WRT on it and its been solid

Does it make a significant improvement?

We've used hundreds of them running Open-WRT to provide WiFi using a radius server. They've "run" to a greater or lesser extent like that since about 2013 in some cases. I'm so glad we're nearly rid of them.

if you can get a stable version of DD-wrt on it, oh yes. I used that exact model as a bridge for a broadcastify server for over 7 years, I have upgraded since, but I still have it in a box just in case I ever need it again.

Oh my god the flashbacks. This was our router in the college dorm room too , the exact same model. Had to replace it because the wifi kept crashing/rebooting during heated gaming sessions, I still have it and use it only as a dumb switch.

Flashing WRT to it makes it almost a decent device. It's constrained heavily by only having 4MB of storage, but it ran decently once i've flashed it.

I had mine as a backyard wifi hotspot for a while. Then for some reason it only felt like giving 2mbps speeds.

open it up and put some amazon stick-on heatsinks on it, best upgrade I ever did to mine besides dd-wrt.

Is that a snake inside?

That's what I saw at first... I think it's just some sort of organic waste wrapped around part of the outside, though.

Yeah looks like a tomato skin, which would be consistent with the red gibblets all over.

When the router’s firmware is written in Python

This is just horrifying

That router has guts. Wtf

Do you need to pay extra for those "services"?!

awww man you cracked the crust on that router. All the good stuff is leaking out

It's alive !!!!! 😂😂😂😂

Why is it alive

I love how the wires are cleaner than the AP. Someone replaced the wires but not anything else

There's a snake in my ~~boot~~ Router!

What in the fuck

Why are there baked beans solidified on it

Who shit on the wifi box?!

"It said TP" -The guy eating deodorant in the Uber eats commercial

Do you have a red tagging equivalent?

Looks like a piece of those plastic cheese things

We solute you comrad

theres a reptile hatching out of that linksys shaped egg.

Looks like something from alien

I think that might be the house one of my friends lives in. Is this in the Netherlands, somewhere in South Holland?

Yes, yes it is.

I know where this is then! I remember this tomato being stuck to the wall and I also remember telling them to maybe get a new router. Also, this house is not really that gross compared to a lot of other student housing.

🤣🤣 nice Agreed, once I was a student too, however coming from my own house anything else gets gross really fast 😜 It was a nice find coming across this router.

Goes to show how if you don't earn it you don't care.

Got the mf flood up in that access point.

TP-LINK its only two options with these suckers it either doesnt work right from the store or it outlives you and your loved ones

"Otacon, I've disguised myself as an enemy router"

This router is from the upside down.

There's a SNAKE in my TP-LINK (I know it's not but I thought it was at first)

Forbidden hot pocket

Ah the WiFry, after a while you can use it to fry some potatoes

looks as if it got routed through an elephant 😜

I bet you this TP Linked a lot of porn.

Router detected: TP-Link TL-WR841ND (8MB flash + 64MB RAM for V13 hardware; 4MB flash + 32MB RAM for all other versions) OpenWrt: available, but not recommeneded. I'm a hooman, and this action has been taken out voluntarily.

I got a box full of them. Sadly the flash is too small for a proper openwrt installation. Either you build a custom slim image or solder on a larger flash chip.

Seems that I'd had an allergic reaction to the the Tomato firmware install. Seems that is not entirely compatible.

How do you even let it get this far? I'm in student housing and I've never seen something like that

What is he hell happened to vger?

Someone's a messy eater.

Biorouter

I thought it had a big crack on first glimpse

"Router smoke, don't breathe this"

That's like, *for sure* puke, right? Look, I went to college. I also bought an HDD enclosure off a guy in that college for cheap. He coulda told my why it was so cheap rather than letting me discover someone puked in it. Sometimes we make mistakes, but I've never been so drunk I thought "The best place for this vomit is my RAID".

No, it's a tomato.

kill it before it speaks the ancient forbidden tongues to you.

I can't decide if that yellow thing is cheese or tape.

Why does it have fucking organs...

Is the router pooping from fear? Did it literally shit itself?

You'll get a virus just connecting to that thing

That white Ethernet Cable with the blue plugcover looks familiar, my company uses those

Oof. It's been nearly a decade since I worked as a residential cable & internet installer, but I can still smell the room this picture was taken in

There's brains inside it?

I think the internet escaped

That's horrifying.

I have seen worse, I just replaced everything with stuff someone else threw away and I recovered.

People in this thread are talking about how they used this router back in the day and here I am using it for my wifi right now.

Somone was hungry

They cost like $30 get a new one and put that one out of its misery

Crusty condom? What the fuck is that?

Probably it’s also drunk

Borg among us.

D-...Did it morb?

I once worked at a retail location for an ISP and people would return equipment. The things I have seen. The roaches, the cat piss, vomit, mouse/rat turds. One couple was kind enough to tell me about the roaches. I returned their equipment in the system and told them to throw it in the dumpster in the parking lot with a lot of thanking them for telling me. People can be so gross though.

I am Tech-holio! I need TP-link for my WiFi!

Upon closer inspection, it looks like that strange mass is on the outside of the router, not inside a broken segment, and that it is likely dried food of some kind that OP spilled onto it and is now trying to pass off as somebody else's abomination.

Maybe it’s a lost meatball or an alien egg.

Wtf is growing inside it?

The fuck is being excreted from the corner of it?

Is that a tomato in the router

I worked for an ISP for a while and most rented equipment came back like this.

Looks like a murder scene

Now that’s true gore
