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.
