    Netgear GS108

    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.

            Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

              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.
              "We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."
