What's the point of having another router? (lemmy.austinwadeheller.com)

I once bought a router to use for my internet when I moved into my new house just to find out that it "wasn't compatible" with Verizon's service. I still have it (because I'm terrible about returning things). Is there any point in keeping it? Is there anything fun or interesting that I could do with it?

I'm legit scared to put holes in my walls; I'm afraid that I'll make a hole, realize that I can't use the hole (blocked, pipes in the way, etc.), and now I have a hole in my wall. I'm far more likely to pay someone else to do it - but I will at least watch a video on the topic, just to see if maybe it's easier than I think it is.
