Lightning strike

Lightening is great at wrecking electronics. 

But you might have a matching power supply sitting around you could try. just make sure it has the same exact voltage and polarity. it can have a higher amperage but not lower. 

Worth trying if you have one sitting around because its a pretty common size/voltage used in netgear routers.

Lightning strike knocked out router. No power light and no network lights. Power does go into power supply board and it appears that there are two 12 VDC outputs going to circuitry - but no power light. How likely is it that the power supply (MOV ??) is bad and that a replacement power supply is available?

Thank you,

If you are lucky, the lightning strike killed the adapter before it could reach the router.

 

Netgear does not sell replacement power adapters. Any generic adapter will work. Just get one with the right volts, enough amps and a tip with the right (+/-) polarity and dimensions to fit your hardware. Some adapters come with an array of different tips.

The details you need should be on the old adapter, on a label on the device itself and in its manual.

 

You can find suitable adapters in all the usual places. Some will even list compatibility with different Netgear hardware.
