12 ga. is pretty effective...and a lot of fun!

Yes, make it a skeet target. "Pull!"

A perfect shot is had at the distance where the buckshot spread matches the size of the modem.

I was thinking 00 Buck Shot ought to work just fine.

Same as when I retired my previous router - don't change a thing, set it aside in a drawer, so if the current one dies unexpectedly, you have a replacement that can simply be reconnected and ready to go immediately with no downtime, while you're waiting for a new one to be shipped.

this is a nice way to do it.
initially I plan to hammer it and dump it into trash bin.

If it's actually no longer functional and you need to dispose of it, yeah, I'd do the same.
But if it's still working and you're just replacing it for "something better", the old hardware is still worth hanging on to IMO for the reason I gave. It's actually saved me some serious downtime.

If you want to make it reusable for someone else, most of them have a 'bent paperclip' factory reset, which should erase all your configuration.
If not, the admin interface (if you can get in!) should have a similar facility.

Many modems can be configured as repeater, I use an old one to improve WIFI coverage.
It had been used in its 2nd life as a switch (replaced by an 8 port switch).
Another one I use to create a standalone network for testing.
Other ideas
- create a dedicated guest (or kids) network. Easy to enable/disable.
- create a cabled cluster of Raspberry PI's

There's probably a Doom port for it floating around somewhere, if you need an oddball retro gaming device.

Is it a 1200 Baud modem? did you upgrade to a 56k modem? I could use your old one for my AOL account.
|
|
|
|
|
it has a label: CAN ICES-3(B) /NMB-3(B).
is this related with Baud rate?

Sorry, bad old timer 90's joke. 56Kb Modems in the 90's, now most of the time because of Fiber Optics I see routers seldom a modem.

ADSL/VDSL are still modems. As are the Oasis ones.
VDSL and Oasis is still used in parts of our "modern" internet.
Not sure what my one at home is, but it's an additional box that runs IP over the POTS twisted copper pair, and has a standard ethernet port on the other side. They call it "Fibre to the Curb" (FTTC).
