Netgear N600 WNDR3700v4 Power Adapter

I have a used Netgear N600 WNDR3700v4 router, the power adapter is missing. Where can I find the exact inner/outer diameter of the plug? Having the size I could find some generic replacement adapters.

thanks

    Its a 12v 1.5amp power supply according to its spec sheet. 

    Most of the 12v's use a pretty generic power supply setup. 

    You can get one with more amps (not less) but it needs to have the exact same voltage. 

    You might even have one sitting around from an old device. 

     

    Although for the price of a power supply, it might not be worth it on that old of a router.

    Some generic adapters come with a set of tips that will fit a range of different devices.

    These things are pretty common, so first check to see if you have something compatible lying around.

      I'm aware of the multi-plug generic adapters, and I also already checked some of the old adapters I still have.

      I would really appreciate it if further answers focus on my exact question on finding the required size of the plug.

      thanks

        For the benefit of others. The power adapter must be 12v 2.5 Amp. The pin size is 5.5x2.5mm but 5.1x2.1mm also fits. Polarity: Inner: +, Outer: -
