R6300 Power Adapter replacement?
For a replacement power adapter, I understand it is a 12V 5a, but what is the polarity on the end? Is it Negative inside or Positive inside?
TIA.

A quick check of four Netgear adapters I have lying around says positive inside.

- Thank you very much!

For an R6300 plain/v1, that seems to agree with the documentation.
(The R6300v2 seems to be more efficient.)

Doesn't the label on the adapter show this? If not, then look
closely at the product label on the router If that fails, then visit
http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for
Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Label". (Also
interesting: "Technical Specifications".)- 1 I checked all documentation
2 little hard to check the adapter if I am replacing it

Define "all". Does that include the User Manual? Where there's a
picture of the product label? Which shows the polarity of the power
connector?

Are you replacing it because it's defective or because it's missing?

Is the product label missing from the router?

That's just silly. And you don't need to check "their entire site",
only the User Manual for the R6300.

I found it there, following the instructions provided:

Look at page 11, "Label", "Figure 4. The label shows unique
information about your router", upper right-hand corner. Some
magnification might help.
It's not complicated. Try a Web search for these keywords:
