    Netgear routers are also affected

    They seem to have used Tolon caps in 2003 routers. Mine has a blown cap.
    Many others on the Netgear forum seem affected also!

    Lets hope we don't see a Boeing 737 on this list!

    cheers

    My Netgear FS605 switch has UCC (KMG) caps. Quite a pleasant surprise for me.

      The issues get real serious when you go down that avenue.
      Infrastructure, national security,it's mind boggling.
      At least my mind is boggled.

        some netgear stuff is designed by ZyXEL which is a great company. unfortunately ZyXEL is also using crap in their products....Supacon, Hermei etc.

        Cisco is using Nichicon. but most of the time you dont need the complexity or expense of Cisco gear. talking about national security what about the cisco IOS vulnerability that was exposed a few months back. would find a lot of cisco routers in government organisations.

        i see lots of companies trying for entrance to the enterprise market, LevelOne, ZyXEL, Dlink, Netgear etc. do they thing they will gain a position with crap caps?

              Isn't it funny that the almighty Mr. Gates seems to have more GPF's than most people,
              and always in front of everyone. LOL

                    The amount of obsolete/legacy equipment still in use is amazing. My previous employer still used a 386-based DOS (5 or 6) system to run their conducted EMI test set-up in '04, and may still.

                      A bit OT but....No less than 6 months ago I was working for a big Aus retailer.
                      The Z/OS mainframe HMC (Hardware Master Console) was OS/2 Warp, on an equivalently old desktop.
                      It had a huge (sizewise) 9k modem always updating IBM with the status.

                      For those that don't know, if you loose both your HMC's you are in deep shizen.
                      Wish I looked at the caps in it back then.

                      All master consoles were from the early 90's, and their RSX controllers ran on old XT type servers running DOS5.? frontend for switching systems.
                      All since outsourced and shipped to CSC!

                        I used to have a Netgear 8-port hub, but that was replaced with a Billion ADSL Modem/Firewall Router, which contained Teapo SEK series and one Hermei HV series (3300uF 25V) unit; none of them were bulging since the modem was working for two years.

                        When I do find my Netgear 8-port hub, I will keep you updated.

                        My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

                          I wouldn't be upset at all if it had dispensed a load of cash to me right before it burned up!!

                              Because of the misery the way some PC builds go.

                              Many people report having crashes with newly built PCs.

                              Thanks to flawed motherboards and faulty processor chips.

                                Yes, Netgear DG824M routers from 2003 are definitely affected, due to Tocon 2200uF caps.

                                My father and I both have one. His has just started failing to sync with the ADSL line, and has a classic bulging cap.
                                Mine was not used for over a year, so has had only about 18months usage. No damage evident so far on that one, but I have noticed an increasing number of disconnects.

                                  can you get a pic?

                                  are you going to recap it yourself?
                                  actually hubs/switches/routers are quite easy to recap. much easier than motherboards.

                                        Poked apart a DG834GT to add a serial console, it has TEAPO caps... There is also one Chemicon cap...
