Sell Used Routers and SD-WAN Appliances, Configs Erased.
Branch and core routers, SD-WAN appliances and gateways bought from offices and data centres, with every configuration erased before resale.
The short answer
PrivAce Technologies buys used routers and SD-WAN appliances: Cisco ISR, ASR and Catalyst 8000, Juniper SRX and MX, MikroTik, Meraki MX, Ubiquiti and TP-Link Omada gateways. Router configurations hold VPN keys, certificates and passwords, so each unit is reset and the action recorded before resale.
No minimum quantity. Payment before pickup. Data destroyed before resale, with a certificate.

Identify your model
What must happen before a router is resold.
A router’s configuration can include VPN pre-shared keys, certificates, admin and SNMP credentials, and your network addressing. That is why every unit is reset to factory state before it is resold.
Cloud-managed devices must also be released from your account. Meraki devices have to be removed from your Dashboard organisation, and UniFi devices removed from your controller, or the next owner cannot use them.
Software licences usually stay with your account. Cisco Smart Licensing and Meraki licences do not move with the hardware, so we buy the hardware on its own.
Optics and modules, such as SFP transceivers and network interface modules, are bought with the router or separately.
Inspection
What we check at inspection.
Equipment is inspected before the quotation. These are the things that matter most.
| What we check | Ideal | Needs attention |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | Current or recent generation | End-of-sale models |
| Completeness | Power supplies, modules and fans present | Missing parts |
| Cloud account | Released from Meraki or UniFi | Still claimed |
| Configuration | Erased, or we erase and record | Unknown |
| Optics | Listed by type | Unlisted |
