ADSL Modem DSL-300G

[Decade]

Lately I've been having a hard time to log on, no one in the neighbourhood had any problem so I decided that the fault was at my place.
A quick check under the hood showed a bulged TEAPO35V/220uF replaced it and now I go faster than ever

good job! routers/modems are usually full of badcaps. not only that though their temperatures are incredibly high.

Thank's!
Yes they are running real hot inside, there is not much air that pass inside the box, I think it is a common problem with D-link Friend of mine mounted a small fan on top of the cover and got rid of all problems their mains adapters are also prone to fail

That's quite interesting! I think I might open my modem when my caps arrive and see if any in there need replacing or anything

it is no problem to recap if you find some bad ones. routers, switches etc, it is much easier than motherboards.

Our Billion ADSL Modem/Firewall Router contains Teapo SEK series and one Hermei HV series (3300uF 25V) unit; none of them were bulging since the modem was working for two years, despite running a bit hot.

No wonder they fail now and then these modemes run real hot.
Have looked in to several of D-links modems but this is actually the first time I've found a bulging cap, seems that better airflow cure many of their problems. Just by open the top cover of my D-link router all shut down problems in my network stopped
