My old router

Does it store information?

Does it have a hardrive?

I'm worried about data getting in the wrong hands, do I need to destory it?

Thank you :)

There is no personal data in the router. However, you will want to plug it in and reset it back to factory defaults if you plan on selling it. What exact model of router is it?

Just use the factory reset piece and sell it.

It's probably configured like 99% of any other home router with DHCP outside, 192.168.1.0/24 inside, and whatever wifi info you configured on it. Otherwise they don't generally store or capture info by themselves. Nothing you could really glean from it other than potentially a configured PSK for wireless, which is easily changed or wiped.
