    Jenn, I will keep the FedEx tracking numbers handy on the coffee table by the computer. Once it reaches NetGear I'll be putting in a call for verification that no charge(s) have been made on my credit card without my knowledge. Thanks for staying in touch here.

    Note the '4R7' components. There appear to be either coils or resistors. May be a combination and part of the power regulation.

    These look like metalic and the previous, a plastic coating or something. I just thought this was interesting.

    Hey, do you think Netgear could use another repair tech? I work cheap! ;)
