To begin make sure that you have all of the components to hand. This guide will walk you through the recommended soldering issue.

While mostly SMD all of the parts are easy to solder SMD. The only tricky part may be the Voltage Regulator's ground pad, this is from where it has to heat up most of the board.

You may also be able to tin all of the pads with solder and then use a DIY Reflow oven if that's easier for you.

To begin solder the capacitors, these are all small components and won't interfere with others.

I recommend to start with C2,C3,C4 & C5 100nF's Capacitors first, then work through C1, 33uF Tant,  C9 1000pF 2KV and C7&C10 0.01uF

Next solder the resistors, begin with R1 & R2 75Ohm resistors around the network jack., move onto R3 & R4 330Ohm  for the ethernet LEDs, and finish with R5 with a 1K Ohm resistor for the power LED

Now solder the 3 LEDs, these are up to you if you want different colours or not. I used three of the same colour. Solder one up the top left corner for the power indicator, and two for the ethernet status LEDs.

The final small component is the diode on the power input located on the right of the board. This has to be rated for at least 1A, I've used a 2A 40V Diode. While a schottkey isn't required it may be better as this prevents the heat being dissipated from here.

The hard stuff begins!

Next solder the voltage regulator, for this I would recommend to place a small amount of solder on the pad and then keep it hot while placing the regulator on the pad. Then solder the 5 pins to the board.

This may be tricky due to the heat dissipation throughout the board from the iron.

The final SMT part is the ethernet magnetics, this is the H1102NL.

This I found the best method of soldering was tinning a pad and then attaching one pin. And then flooding the rest of the pads. This means that you allow all of the pins to bridge together and use a solder sucker to remove the excess. This should leave you with around the correct amount of solder on all of the pads.

If you're using a reflow oven either reflow now, or before the Ethernet magnetic step.
