Power supplies mized up

In the process of setting up and moving the office around, the power plugs to the Netgear CM1100 modem and Nighthawk RAS49S router got mixed up. Both have same voltage, but the one of the plugs has a centery...one is center pos and the other  plug is center neg.  If  someone has either device, could they tell me what the  model numbers are.  I called support and it was absolutely useless.  Thanks.  

  • Look at the back of each unit and there will be imprinted on the unit itself what the center pin is, Will show a symbol and points to the center pin next the the power jack in back.

      After some very close inspection (as with a jeweler's loup) on the plug that I though was center neg, is -  center pos; so, both plugs are correct.  My error, thanks.
