Nighthawk M6 pro Mr650 charger not working

Charger stopped working, contacted support and told me out of warranty. It appears this is a common fault with this charger yet Netgear will not back this up with a replacement. Now need to purchase 3rd party charger as I cannot locate genuine charger

    Are you asking for help in finding a replacement?

     

    Netgear generally seems to be reluctant to sell replacement chargers and adapters.


    Any generic device should work, as long as it has the right volts, enough amps and a tip with the right (+/-) polarity and dimensions. (Look at the label on your device or the old adapter.)

     

    In your case, have you ruled out the battery? These generally have a shorter life the chargers.

     

    For better advice, trying asking in the section given over to things like the MR650:

        Every company knows that power supplies will fail. Its just most companies will sell replacements if they're not generic. 

        Your charger for the M6 uses a standard so you can pickup one from anywhere. You might have even had one sitting around from a phone.
