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...

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: -

    More than 2.5 Amps is fine.

     

    But this bit is really good information:

    Pity that Netgear makes it so hard to find.
