NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8 Router (RAX80) - Can only hear clicking / ticking sounds when plugged in power

Question

Hi&nbsp;On 26. August 2021 my Nighthawk AX8 router just stopped working all of a sudden. I noticed that there was no light indication on the router and the only thing I could hear from it was a faint clicking or ticking sound. I tried to unplug it couple of times and reset it but with no avail. I had the latest firmware version installed.&nbsp;I'm not sure what I can do now since the warranty just expired. I don't know wheter this can be fixed or not.&nbsp;I purchased the router for 350$ in Februar 2020 and I would expect such a premium router would last more than 1.5 years. I am deeply disappointed.&nbsp;RegardsVeggur

Hello Veggur

&nbsp;

I would still contact support and tell them the router died they still may be able to RMA the unit.
