The power socket on the router has been damaged - NetGear Nighthawk X6 R8000
Hello, The power socket on the router has been damaged - NetGear Nighthawk X6 R8000 . What socket should I buy exactly to solder it? Are there any replacements? Please help me.
Is it possible to replace the adapter with some other adapter from a different router model?
If it matches you should be able to.
Its going to be disassembling it and actually looking at the plug in adapter to check if its a standard one.
If it is, you can use whatever you like. Just make sure that what you're using is compatible with the power supply.
Or if you're using a different power supply that it has the exact same voltage and polarity. And at least the same amperage (it can have more amps but not less)
thanks
