a G35LA 208I in the RJ11port of a router what can it be? the pad says D1 the component looks like
a diode (as seen in the photo) but i cant find that code, also reads infinite resistance both sides
you are right... since its parallel with the rj11 pins.
I'm trying to troubleshot syncronization problems with this router everything works perfect i couldnt find any problems with the interface other routers work but this stopped few days ago.
Well it's not going to be that, and it has no effect on the router operation, just a safety device.
Have you tried a different PSU on the router?, as a VERY, VERY common problem is high ESR electrolytics in the PSU causing massive ripple on the supply rails, and also sending enough interference back up the mains lines to drastically reduce ADSL speeds and other services.
I've tried a second psu and still its the same, the ISP says its a cpe problem and i agree with them since other routers work, that's why i'm looking at it.
next thing im about to do is to change capacitors inside the router (the big ones).
Nope, I had a Belkin G+MIMO router which gradually lost speeds/had to be reset more often over a couple of months, then lost connection altogether.
Inside, one of the electrolytic caps had split, so I replaced them all.
Worked fine after that.
Just spent the best part of an hour or so off-line due to these pieces of trash! I have a Belkin G+MIMO wireless modem/router, which serves the household for our internet needs. In the last few months, it has needed more frequent resets than have been normally required in the past. This...
Since it was taken apart to see what was wrong with it, and I saw that one was split, they all got changed regardless.
Mine worked after that.
What do you have to lose at this point?
Quite possible, and in fact VERY likely, that you can't test them in circuit - unless you have a suitable ESR meter, which can test most (but not all) electrolytics in circuit - in my (considerable) experience probably 99+% can be checked in circuit, depending on the exact circuit configuration. I've checked thousands of capacitors in circuit, with great success - and replaced lot's and lot's of them.
