Genuine Netgear 2ABS060K, 332-11474-01 19V 3.16 A Power Supply
Im wanting to buy a Genuine Netgear 2ABS060K, 332-11474-01 19V 3.16 A Power Supply
Good news, my RAX200 is back online working using a modified Dell laptop PSU.
FYI: 7.4mm OD is the Ground, 5.0mm ID is the 19.0V dc, and the center pin I broke off is a 5.0V dc to keep the laptop charge while it's off.
Conclusion: All you need is a 60w PSU that provide 19V dc with a 7.4mm coax plug without the center pin. Thanks to schumaku for the idea of using an old laptop PSU, you saved me $30+ and a week waiting for it in the mail.

You just gave me an excellent idea, I found my old Dell laptop PSU (19.0V @ 3.9amp) that has a 7.4mm OD x 5.0mm ID plug, all I need to do is break off the center pin and I have a working PSU..
nothing to break off - there is a protected center contactor. What you have in your hands is a 75 W power supply - perfectly fine.

Great finding 8-)

Generic PC power supplies don't have this additional 5.0 V DC power connector.. This is why I was a little hesitant when I heard about breaking off some parts 8-)
I measured the center pin with my DMM it gave me a reading of 5V, I assume it's for charging the laptop battery. The center pin must be off otherwise it won't plug in, anyway I have a working router and problem solved. What I want to know is why Netgear decided to use different connector plugs when it's 19V, I can understand if the plug is different when it's 12V.
For EX: RAX120 and RAX200 both routers are 19V 60W, but the connector plugs are different, RAX120 has center pin and RAX200 w/o. I hope Netgear engineers are on this forum to answer this Q.
As I said before: The generic variants (without some additional power voltage as for driving embedded Modem) should be sufficient, as there is no standby voltage lane required.

Indeed. I have acquired various transformers with "tip sets" over the years. I have yet to find a device that defeats those.
