Flash Info: nand _ worn bad:1

[foo man]

Hi, On my R9000 with latest Voxel and kamoj addon I've noticed in flash info that I have one worn/bad (mtd7 : netgear). Everything seems to be working fine, but is this something I should be concerned about? Any way to repair/fix? thanks

Flash memory chip type: Alpine.

One bad block is nothing to worry about. Keep an eye on it and if it keeps increasing, a new router (or mad soldering skills) are indicated then.

Thanks, I figured one shouldn't be a problem but wanted to be sure. Soldering skills are not something I posess LoL
