However , when I go back to the laptop , I am getting no signal whatsoever . No sign the router 's even putting out a signal , let alone a strong enough of one to actually surf the Web from it . At least the Ethernet ports seemed to be working well enough , so it can serve as a backup wired router . But I decided to put the NetGear back in the network and set the wireless router on the shelf with the portable scanner I also got in that batch of computer goodies , a scanner which turned out to have only Windows drivers ( our household is Mac - only ) so I 'll probably have to sell it on eBay .

Question: What may be the reason for selling something they ca n't use on Ebay ?
Answer: So they can possibly help someone .So they can scam someone into buying it .So they can possibly get their money back .So they can possibly make more money than they spent .
