I'm new to the forum and not much of an electrical whiz. I run a small WISP in Utah and I use Mikrotik/Routerboards all over my network. They are great devices with horrible capacitors in them. I have had this problem when the boards are powered with a wall wart as well as POE, indoors and outdoors. I've tried contacting Mikrotik regarding the capacitor problem but have not gotten far. I'm hoping to find some answers here. I have pictures of the capacitor and one of the offending boards. I am looking for two answers.
1. why do these caps keep failing?
2. What cap would be a better choice for replacing the blown ones.
