It is time to clean out a bunch of crap and I could use some help in figuring out if I should keep a few things or if they are now useless. If anyone would care to weigh in, I would be grateful. Thanks!

The first item up for bid (as they say on The Price Is Right) is Zyxel PK5000Z modem from an ISP that we no longer use. We currently have a cable modem and wifi router from a different provider that works fine.

Is there any reason to keep the Zyxel? Is it useful as anything else, such as an ethernet router?

For example, while we have wifi in our house, the PCs are all plugged into ethernet powerline adapters. Could I use this for the home theatre setup I'm planning for the basement to plug all the components into one ethernet powerline adapter? We have a smart TV and a receiver, plus perhaps a Roku box and a video game console.



Or should I just put this in the box I'm filling up to donate to the local thrift store and forget about it?
