WiFi Lights Blinking Pattern
Been having WiFi Connect/Disconnect issues over the last few weeks. After recycling power, everything is fine for a random period of time in days. This happens on 2G and 5G. Saved image, reset to...
Sorry for the late reply. I wanted to wait and verify/confirm that it was indeed fixed.
At this point, everything is fine, have not lost any WiFI connections, the lights are displaying the same as my other Netgear R6350 which is physically right next door.
It seems it was the power brick; fortunately I had many other power bricks and managed to find one with the exact same electrical specs and checked the power connecter that goes into the router with my electronic caliper, the OD was .005 millimeters smaller, but fits tight and doesn't wiggle.
Will get a new one this week.

How? For the benefit of others in the same boat, it helps to tell them what you did. When you have done that you could also mark the solution as SOLVED.

Brick? Is that another unknown unknown that you haven't told us about?

Generic adapters should do the trick. Netgear seems reluctant to sell replacements, and doesn't help by keeping quiet about tip dimensions.
Tips can be a beast. Some adapters get around that by supplying a multi-tip option.
