Netgear GS108

[Pentium4]

Had 5 Teapo caps. three SEK and two SC. Only one was bulged, but 4 out of 5 were out of spec. All four failed high ESR and 3 out of the 4 failed were low capacitance as well.

If anyone has one of these that has intermittent issues, and the caps looks fine, change them anyways!!! It wouldn't get internet access, and it would power off after 2 minutes.

Isn't this one of the models that has the lifetime warranty?

I think it depends on when it was originally purchased. They do now, though.

I had the same issues with a progear gs116 (16 port version).

It was definitely a bad capacitor as it was bulging

they replaced it under warranty though.

i have a 48 port linksys that failed because of bad caps.

Check the wall wart adapters on these switches...

The lone filtering capacitor is often of poor quality and passes quite a bit of ripple to the caps inside the switch.
