So, it works with the battery out.
It seems to Charge better/quicker when I plug in the USB to USBC and original charge brick then press and hold the power off button. This then gives me the option to select off / charge. It then charges like a dream. If this is all I have to do, then awesome.
Tried with my USB C to USB C cable and new Anker 735 charger. Didn’t have the charge option and charged at about 5-10% in 24hrs. No good.
Anyone used this charger and would it only work if I used the USBA part of the Anker charger?

I'm waiting on support to respond to my email.Thanks for reaching out to us. To further debug the charging issue, could you please email me your shipping address to jopeng@netgear.com? I will send a new PA and a couple of new USB cables to check whether the issue follows the PA or USB cable.
We can follow up on the next steps by email.
Thanks
John
- Dude_HimselfJun 15, 2023AspirantI forwarded my case on to you. Is it possible your support ticket queue is experiencing issues? I don't see updates when I provide additional detail or ask questions, I'm afraid they might not be receiving my responses.
Thanks!
