Thank you very much oj88, and Yatta.

Looks like both of expert in IT.

Do you have suggestions on how to utilize these 3 equipment? I do not like it to become an ewaste.

Thank you in advance

No not an expert. jus love tinkering with PCs since the 90s. Like you ayaw ko rin ng e-waste so rather than letting old, but working wifi routers go to waste, I use them as range extenders and access points around the house and the yard.

Thanks and Noted Yatta.

I will do research on how to make it an access point.

Same philosophy. For devices which require batteries, have since switched to rechargeable batteries.

Sayang I threw out my old globe wifi router, now may IP cam ako sa labas na weak ang signal na pwede ko sana pag gamitan. Would a cheap wifi extender do? It's a cheap Anran battery operated CCTV.

Stay away from WiFi extenders, a.k.a. WiFi repeaters.

Just repurpose an old wireless router to work like a typical WiFi access point; wired LAN connection to the LAN port, with the internal DHCP server disabled, and the SSID set up to use the same name, encryption and key as the rest of your WiFi.
