C7100V (Netgear Nighawak Cable Modem) Battery?
Hello:
I bought this battery backup from amazon for the Netgear Nighthawk C7100V: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HSZCSYL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It says PB022, which is the correct model number for the battery.
However, the battery light kept flashing for 4 days. When I took the power cable out, the modem went out, so the battery isn't working.
Before I return the battery, two questions:
1. Is the above amazon link the correct battery?
2. Where can I buy a reliable battery for the C7100V?
Thanks!
SM
What I'd do? instead of buying a battery for the C7100v, I'd get a ups.
for roughly the same price, you get more battery power and the option to put a device or 2 on a ups.

Thank you. I hadn't thought about that, but definitely makes more sense. -SM
