Nichicon only cap in modem

[Bishop]

What's the chance of the only radial cap in a dsl modem being bad? It's a Nichicon 2200uf 25V, 20MMx18MMw.
There's no evidence of a cap failure, but it's the only thing I can try to repalce in this modem.
If it was a bad brand I would swap it in a heartbeat.
I've got a power led on, ethernet led on and the dsl led does link up with a signal from the telephone central office, but the internet led does not lite up.

Anyone has a thought that replacing the single radial cap could have anything to do with the internet failure?

Currently I'm looking for the same size cap which looks like it's an odd size to replace it with a like cap.
20x18mm, if I can't find the exact match, what would be a comp size and brand since it's so big?

Thanks

Re: Nichicon only cap in modem

Your modem is working fine. You need to log into it and enter your DSL username and password.

This sounds like a SpeedStream DSL modem. If so, log into it via 192.168.0.1, enter your DSL username and password, and click connect. Your computer needs to be connected directly to the modem (no router) in order to be able to access the 192.168.0.1 page.
