    You are looking for a power adapter?

     

    Netgear does not sell replacement power adapters in most markets. Any generic transformer will work, as long as it has the right volts, enough amps and a tip with the right (+/-) polarity and dimensions. (Look at the label on your device or the old adapter.)

     

    The details you need should be on the old adapter, on a label on the device itself and in its manual.

    You can find suitable adapters in all the usual places. Some will even list compatibility with different Netgear hardware.

     

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

     

    If you have one with the right specifications and it does not work, then maybe the problem is with the router rather than the adapter.
