    Zyxel P-330W Router

    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).

    Zyxel are very good routers, especially the firmware isn`t that buggy like D-Link and Netgear crap. But yes, they are known for bad caps in all products.

      UPNP, "Standards" and hardware that implements it
      by EasyGoing1
      I've been writing a program in Java that is really just a robust front end for the use of GitHiub Gists, providing a nice interface for developers to organize, maintain and access code snippets that we tend to need from time to time in our different projects.

      One of the features of the program is the ability for people to share their Gists with others who use the program over a LAN or over the Internet. The program just basically serializes a Java class and encrypts it then wraps it into a UDP datastream and sends it over to another user.

      So I decided to implement UPNP...

      Xiaomi router freezes at boot after re-capping
      by hinisa
      I'm using Xiaomi Router 4A gigabit edition as wireless repeater. It worked fine for 2 years or so, but last week, wireless started to disappear.

      When I unplug/replug the power, it was working fine for a day/half a day or so until it freezes again.

      After testing with different power supply adapters and concluding it wasn't the issue I finally opened the case and this was the situation:



      Anyway I proceed to clean up the mess and replace all caps but unfortunately it made the situation worse. Now router can't even boot, either it freezes during...

      Home routers
      by Hornnumb2
      Is it just me or does it seem like the routers just dont last anymore. It seems like about 1 1/2 years mine starts dropping signal and losing connections. I am not buying the cheapest but middle of the road around $100. Any suggestions for one that will last? Thanks Michael
