AC1750 won't power on
Bought an AC1750 router at the end of October. It worked fine until I returned from the holidays to find it dead - no power, no lights, anything. I replaced the adapter, and it worked until this past...

Try a different power adapter and see if it turns on. Could be there is alot of power surges where you have your router. Sometimes even power strips can't protect electronics 100% of the time. Could have been fried if there's alot of power surges and power outages.

The second adapter has been tested and works fine. It's the router itself that is the problem - likely fried after a couple of power outages in my building, according to the electronics experts I consulted. Apparently it's a common problem. I'm replacing the router, and investing in a higher-quality surger protector and a protection plan.
