Just to let users know that the Wall Pack that DSE supplies with this unit has
a Very small underrated Elect Cap fitted, so if your Router starts to play up
cut open the Wall pack and replace the cap, use a larger one at 105c rating or
one with a high ripple rating.

2200uf 16v


Replacing the Wall pack might be a bit harder, as its 7.5v at 1 amp.

This Wall pack was about 10-11 months old but the chap had no invoice for it
as it was brought by some one else..

Take it back. Has to last a "reasonable" time ... worth a try

Haha, my one of these developed a fault over the weekend. Any device
plugged into any one of the ports would drop on and off the network
every second or so.

Brought it about 13 months ago so no warranty for me $100 down the
drain. Was ok though when it worked.

Hank.

Yes I think I might give it a try at the local DSE and see if they'll
replace it. Still got the reciept so can't hurt.

No its not down the drain.

This was the fault with this one, cut open the Power Pack and replaced the
2200uf 16v cap, also updated the firmware to 2.03 Surecom one..

This is why I posted the Warning..

Bruce its just a small Elect Cap in the Power Supply (Wall pack), far to
small, I fitted a much larger one 2200uf 16v, size I was refering to..

The one that I have here was doing the same thing..

If the local sales droid (or even the managing sales droid) refuses to help,
write a letter to their head office. You may be pleasantly surprised

Thanks. Did you find yours started playing up once the power pack
heated up? I've left mine powered off overnight and have just tried it
again just now and it appears to be working ok at the moment.

Went to DSE, they told me to get lost, not interested in helping.

Just replace the 2200uf 16v cap at around $3 and stop wanking around..

Could be but was not my system, it belongs to a friend that I had installed
for him.

The connection kept going off and on all the time, the Fixed power pack now
works great and have updated the firmware to the Surecom one..



The Cap can go O/C when hot, just replace the 2200uf 16v cap, they cost about
$3, they need long wires if the are large, but the one I fitter was about 20mm
wide and some 20mm tall, plenty of room for the larger cap..


Use a 25v one if you can't get a 16v one


The original one is 10mm wide 25mm tall
