Re: Thinking of Recapping a D-Link DSL-G604T router

I will probably give it a go, as #1 is now the spare and its ethernet is now slower than the line sync.

I may have to change router & especially chipset anyway to get the best out of my ADSL2+ LLU line, so its not much of a risk. The replacement G604T (#2) is doing OK (about 12Mpbs sync), but either the line or it is doing less well than theory suggests (about 12-20Mpbs depending where you look).

I'll need to get some desolder braid at less than Maplin's mad price, etc!

The figure...

I make good use of old(er) routers with the 3rd party RouterTech firmware. One of these is refusing to recognise 100base-t ethernet but is happy at 10base-t speeds. I've seen on the web a similar model of d-link and some other brands where this problem has been fixed by replacing some of the caps.

I found one thread here on BadCaps that mentioned the G604T but no feedback about if the recap worked.

Examination of the router reveals the majority of the Electrolytics are [B]GSC [/B]and the rest are [B]TBOR [/B]([I]if I read the logo correctly[/I]).
