AC Adapter Power Cord for Nighthawk X6 Smart Wi-Fi Router (R8000) - AC3200
The power cord/ac adapter which came with my router, Nighthawk X6 Smart Wi-Fi Router (R8000) - AC3200, is too short!!!
I have looked and bought so many things to try to extend it WITHOUT the bulky box half way up my wall but no luck.
I have been buying extensions for my existing cord with no luck.
Below is the current information I have been using to purchase items. Would someone tell me if I am correct or what I am doing wrong?
plug size is 5.5mm outside diameter / 2.1mm inside
2.4GHz 5GHz (1) 5GHz (2) USB 3.0 USB 2.0
It's also been suggested to look for a type M which I have also tried.
Please HELP!

why don't you just buy a cheap power cord? Then you can put the "bulky" power supply right by the router.
Or you can buy a 3rd party after market cord. You just need to make sure it outputs the same voltage and polarity and AT LEAST the same (but can be more) amperage.
