1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I got this router few weeks ago and set it up beside my computer in home office.
but I smelled pungent from this router.
should I return this device?

Maybe it just needs some deodorant

Depends what it smells of - if it's "hot electronics" or "burnt insulation" (and once you smell these you'll know what I mean) then I'd say you should talk to the supplier about returns - there is a fire risk if nothing else.
Also try to sniff carefully to isolate where it's coming from - the mains adapter or the router itself.
When sniffing odd smells, it's a good idea to fill you lungs with clean air first, then sniff - so you can "blow the smell out" if it's toxic - Herself taught me that one because methylated spirits cause her breathing problems - and burning plastic can contain chlorine compounds which don't do your lungs any good at all.

my previous router is NetGear that comes with adapter, so it uses low voltage.
but this TP-Link ER7206 uses 110 voltage directly and no adapter...

Does it still work?
Can you feel excessive heat coming from it?
If so it's probably defective.
If not it may be just a breaking in smell, similar to a new car.
|
|
|
|
|
yes, it is working and no excessive heat.
I am worried about that smells contain chemicals...
diligent hands rule....
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah that would be a concern, place in a well ventilated area away from your work.
|
|
|
|
|
Return it.

If it's just a break in smell then the next one will do it also!
|
|
|
|
|
yes, I will return it and go back to NetGear router...

Looks good to me.

The problem with these Realtek chipsets is the lack of full documentation of supported features. (Some management features can be enabled remotely by a special Ethernet packet)

It probably cost them more to produce that document than to build the router

If it smells like it's burning, yes; but then you'd not be asking. I'd not give a refund for a complaint like "smell".
