FVX538 - Broken ... anyone know where to get replacement motherboard?
Not sure of Hardware version. Bought two of these FVX538 routers a 10 years ago ... was told they were Version 2. Label on bottom of case says Version 2. But, neither worked reliably with most...
Thank you JohnRo!
Warranty ... ah, well these are refurbished units with a 30 day warranty ... bought sometime around 2006.
One still works, but the second one stopped working a year or two ago. I opened it up to see if there was anything that I might be able to do to fix it. Looks like only two easily replaceable parts ... the Power supply (still good) and the PC board ... which I probably can't get now. But, maybe someone else has one with a broken Power supply?
I'll wait to see if anything can be done to fix it ... and throw it out if it looks like it can't be fixed ... in a few more weeks. :)
Hi BPR,
You're welcome! I see what you mean. :) Hopefully, someone still has them, we don't manufacture this model anymore. It's a good router with a few extra ports for WAN and LAN and a console too. I saw a few units still being sold on Ebay, but I'd just recommend to get a new one with a full warranty.
Goodluck!
Thanks,
