ASUS RT-N16: Please suggest capacitor replacement

[biatche]

From my ASUS RT-N16 router:

HERMEI LZ
1x 680uF/16V - 10x13mm, 1400mA, 0.026ohm @ 25c / 0.078ohm @ -10c

Long ago someone suggested some rules when buying a replacement.

#new vs old
~~~~~~~~
capacitance uF =
voltage V >=
ripple mA >=
ESR/impedience ohm <=
height (d x l) mm <=
spacing mm =

I've been following that rule all along but this time.. I can't find anything within the configuration.

I will need to purchase from:

Where there's stock in "SG"

I've been googling and I see some replace with a 1000uF, some 2500 uF, some 470uF... so I'm rather confused right now..

Can you use 10 x 16mm?

Thanks!

Re: Please suggest capacitor replacement

my asus rt-n16 was randomly rebooting
started about once a week and went to about every 10-30min over a month
took it apart to find a bad cap (16v 470uf stain around board and bulged)

replaced it with a 16v 1500uf cap and it works prefectly

layed it down as there was no room for it to stand

going on 2 weeks with no issues
