That Amazon link (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01MSUMVUB) is similar to what I
have (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CJPWZ8O) but yours has a USB port while
mine has a knockout for an unused USB port that doesn't exist in mine.

I'm surprised yours is over a hundred dollars though, as mine is years old. 

This RB750GL is still in the package so I haven't opened it up yet, but I
did unscrew the metal case on the metal used RB450 router to look inside
(http://mikrotik.com.ua/download/rb450.pdf).

This pic matches its motherboard (https://mikrotik.com/product/RB450).

I don't know if this is good for nowadays as it's a 300MHz CPU, 64MB RAM,
5xEthernet, which has a 10/100 Ethernet switch (but no Wi-Fi capability).

I'm just curious what you would do with these two routers if you had them so
that I can maybe think up of a use for them. What can be done with them?
