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 :)

It being a 100 Mbps ("Fast" Ethernet) switched router, it's really only useful for devices that don't need or use more than 100 Mbps network speed, so like PoE IoT devices perhaps.
As far as I know that is still "fast" here in the UK 😅
On my 40/10 line, it's got way more bandwidth then the VDSL has

It does affect LAN speed, too. Unless you have your high-bandwidth devices running on a gigabit switch to LAN to eachother at good speeds.
