That's a bypass capacitor and its value is not critical.  It's marked "AA7"
and I'm not familiar enough with surface mount components to tell you what
that means, but 0.1�f is a common value for a bypass capacitor.

It's likely the active components are more sensitive to the overvoltage than
the capacitor and you're better off accepting the loss of the WAP11 than to
mess with it.  In fact, the loss of that bypass capacitor might affect the
operation of the WAP11, but on some level it should continue to operate
without C26.  If you follow those traces you will see that C26 is between
power and ground.

My advice is to throw it away and get a new access point.

Subject: [BAWUG] WAP11 Blown Capacitor - Looking for Value of C26

Hello All,

This is my first post, and I searched google for an answer, and
couldn't find one. Well, to start off, I goofed up. I have several
Linksys products at home and I accidentally put the wrong power supply
in my WAP11. I don't know if anyone has ever opened their's up at all,
but I blew a capacitor on the non-PCMCIA portion of the board in the
casing. It's cap number C26 and I can't get the value off of it. If
anyone can let me know what the markings are on this component, I
would really appreciate it. 

Thank you very much for any help you are able to give!

Jeff
