This exact repair, actually: <a href="http://www.nerdybynature.com/2013/10/26/fix-a-fried-asus-rt-n16/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://www.nerdybynature.com/2013/10/26/fix-a-fried-asus-rt-n16/</a><br class="">
<br class="">
At least 2 of the 3 capacitors on mine show obvious signs of failure...<br class="">
<br class="">
Want to take a shot at the repair for a reasonable price, like, some beer or something?<br class="">
<br class="">
I don't have the proper soldering tools / skills for a board this size.<br class="">
<br class="">
Failing that, what is a good wireless router these days, that can run a tomato variant has<br class="">
gigabit switch ports, and a USB port? This Asus was/is a good option from a price<br class="">
point... but I'm not going to buy another if it only lasts 3 years because they insist on<br class="">
saving 10 cents per capacitor.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks,<br class="">
