I got this router for $15 after rebate from Compusa (still on sale from 8/6 - 8/12) and it isn't too bad from a features standpoint; Linux-based firmware, WPA2 support, and it can even act as a wireless ethernet bridge (reason why I got it). However like 99% of all consumer routers it uses bad caps.
I forgot what the manufacturer of the caps was since I already threw them away, but if you can recognize it from the photos kudos to you.
Replacement caps are 2 X Panasonic FM 25v 470uF, and of course heatsinks as well.
Another quick job that took less than 5 minutes. Overall this Zyxel router is a pretty good value for the money. Compusa seems to be running rebates for this router every month or two for cheap after rebate prices (normally $50 full retail price).
