Not really and it would probably cost more to repair than replace anyway.

Good luck. I was pretty soured in Linksys wireless products initially.
Admittedly, it was their first generation stuff but you know the old saying,
you only get to make a first impression once. I have been pretty faithful to
their wired line but now even that seems to be going down hill I have 4 SX41
VPN routers in use and collectively, they already made 4 trips in for
warranty replacements and I'm waiting for #5 to arrive now. I thought the
takeover by Cisco would be a good thing, but apparently not.
