Hey Dan, I'd be willing to take a crack at it. I'm no expert in soldering, but I've recapped the soundboard of an arcade cabinet ( https://goo.gl/photos/HVJEzMNoCFFdtKMq9) and, after a few attempts, re-soldered an HDMI port back on to a TV... so, I could definitely be worse. :-) Unfortunately, I don't have any router suggestions at the moment. The two in my home are none too stellar. A friend of mine does have a Netgear Nighthawk he raves about. The range is pretty stellar, but the price is definitely not. I'm also unsure if it would run Tomato or not. -Andrew On Mon, Jul 13, 2015 at 5:23 PM Dan Armbrust <daniel.armbrust.list at gmail.com> wrote: > Anyone on this list have the proper soldering iron to replace capacitors > on a board? > > This exact repair, actually: > http://www.nerdybynature.com/2013/10/26/fix-a-fried-asus-rt-n16/ > > At least 2 of the 3 capacitors on mine show obvious signs of failure... > > Want to take a shot at the repair for a reasonable price, like, some beer > or something? > > I don't have the proper soldering tools / skills for a board this size. > > Failing that, what is a good wireless router these days, that can run a > tomato variant has > gigabit switch ports, and a USB port?
