Here is a Netgear DG83G v2 with some bad caps. They weren't bulging, but I decided to recap it anyways.
There are 4 el cheapo Teapos, the rest are United Chemi-Con KY series. I don't know why they decided to use Teapos considering there are United Chemi-Cons in there. Anyways the bad caps are:
2 X Teapo SC 16v 1000uF 10 X 15mm
1 Teapo SC 16v 470uF 8 X 15mm
1 Teapo SC 25v 100uF 6 X 11mm
The el cheapo Teapos were replaced with:
2 X United Chemi-Con KY 16v 1000uF 12.5 X 15mm
1 United Chemi-Con KY 16v 470uF 8 X 11.5mm
1 United Chemi-Con KY 25v 100uF 6.3 X 11mm
Of course I also added some heatsinks as well.
The 2 16v 1000uF replacement caps were a bit tricky as far as the available space to mount them. Most of the other United Chemi-Con series caps (KZE, LXE, etc.) as well as the Panasonic FM/FC series caps of 16v/1000uF are 10 X 20mm; too tall for the amount of room inside the router even when mounted at a 90 degree angle. Fortunately the United Chemi-Con KY series has a replacement that measures 12.5 X 15mm. They are 2.5mm wider than the Teapos, so that means I had to get a little bit creative in mounting them.
Not just one 90 degree bend, but rather three. I had to use pieces of paper as spacers to prevent the cap from touching anything on the sides/bottom when soldering the cap in place.
