Dead RBR50

Good morning.  I woke up this morning and my rbr50 was dead.  Assume power surge or something.  I need to replace.  I currently have 3 satelites around the house 2 RBS50 and 1 RBS50 v2.  I would like to replace the router without replacing the satelites.  What routers are compatible with the system? Do I have to find a RBR50 or can i use an RBK50....

Thank you

Re: Dead RBR50

The RBK50 is a kit containing both an RBR50 router and an RBS50 satellite.  I do not believe you can purchase an RBR50 alone unless it is a used one.  If you have had the system for less than 1 year, then contact Netgear for an RMA replacement.

Does the back LED or top ring LED turn ON at all? Possible power supply is bad...

This is well possible. @JohnKuz try a power supply from an RBS50...
