What types of modems and routers do you purchase?

We purchase many types of modems, Wi-Fi routers, gateway devices, and similar networking equipment from residential and commercial sources. Acceptance depends on the overall condition and current purchasing standards.

Do the devices need to be working?

No. Working condition is not always required. Devices are evaluated based on their overall completeness, physical condition, and recoverable electronic materials.

Should I leave the antennas attached?

Yes. Whenever possible, please leave the original antennas attached. Original components help simplify identification and may support a more accurate purchasing evaluation.

Should I keep the original power adapter?

If you still have the original power adapter, bringing it together with the device may help verify the original configuration during inspection. However, purchasing decisions are primarily based on the networking equipment itself.

Can damaged modems or routers still be accepted

Possibly. Devices with broken housings, missing components, removed circuit boards, or other physical damage may still be evaluated, although purchasing values may differ depending on their condition.

Should I clean or disassemble the device before bringing it in ?

No. Cleaning or disassembly is not required. Bringing the equipment in its original condition is generally recommended.

Does mixing different electronic items affect the purchasing evaluation?

It may. Mixed loads often require additional sorting before inspection. Separating similar items whenever possible may help improve the efficiency and accuracy of the evaluation.

Do you purchase networking equipment from businesses?

Yes. We purchase networking equipment from individuals, businesses, schools, offices, Internet service providers (ISPs), and other organizations, depending on current purchasing conditions.

What factors determine the purchasing evaluation?

Purchasing evaluations are based on several factors, including: * Overall completeness * Physical condition * Original electronic components * Recoverable electronic materials * Manufacturer and model * Quantity presented * Current electronic scrap market conditions

Do I need an appointment before visiting?

No. Walk-in customers are welcome during our regular business hours. No appointment is required.

I’m not sure whether my modem or router qualifies. What should I do?

If you are unsure, simply bring your networking equipment to our facility. Our team will inspect the items and explain the purchasing evaluation based on their overall condition.

Buying Details of Conditions

Network modems and routers are evaluated individually based on their overall completeness, physical condition, original electronic components, manufacturer, and current electronic scrap market conditions.

The following recommendations are intended to help customers understand how modem and router equipment is commonly prepared and evaluated before purchasing.

Complete Units Are Generally Preferred

Annotated rear view of a Hitron modem and Wi-Fi router showing top ventilation, Wi-Fi information labels, USB ports, Ethernet LAN ports, coaxial connector, and DC power input. — Common connection points and identification features on a Hitron modem and Wi-Fi router.

Network devices that remain assembled with their original housing, printed circuit board (PCB), network ports, power connector, and attached antennas (if originally equipped) are generally easier to identify and inspect.

Complete units may qualify for better purchasing values depending on their overall condition.

Keep the Original Accessories and Antennas Attached

Top view of a Hitron modem and Wi-Fi router showing the ventilation grille for airflow and cooling. — Top ventilation grille designed to improve airflow and help dissipate heat during operation.

When the original antennas, power adapters, mounting brackets, or other factory-installed accessories remain with the device, they may help verify the original configuration and simplify identification during inspection.

Whenever possible, leaving the equipment in its original condition is recommended.

Avoid Unnecessary Damage

Angled front view of a Hitron desktop modem and Wi-Fi router showing the top ventilation grille and compact desktop design. — Angled front view showing the compact desktop design and top ventilation grille.

Devices with broken housings, missing circuit boards, removed electronic components, cut cables, missing antennas, severe physical damage, or excessive contamination may require additional inspection.

Depending on the overall condition, incomplete or heavily damaged units may receive a different purchasing evaluation than complete units.

Sort Networking Equipment Separately

Before visiting, sorting modems and routers separately from other electronic scrap and keeping similar networking equipment together may help simplify the inspection process.

Mixed loads may require additional sorting and evaluation, while single-item categories may qualify for a more accurate purchasing evaluation.

No cleaning or disassembly is required.

Networking equipment can be brought to our location in its current condition.

Final Purchasing Evaluation

The final purchasing evaluation is determined based on:

Overall completeness
Physical condition
Original electronic components
Recoverable electronic materials
Manufacturer and model
Quantity presented
Current electronic scrap market conditions

If you are unsure whether your modem or router qualifies for purchase, you are always welcome to bring it to our facility for inspection.
