Title: Need help about Netgear router not working.
Post by: robinsteele on December 31, 2010, 08:56:09 PM

Router=Netgear DG834Gv4 on Windows 7

This router has developed a problem.The power light flashes green,and so does the internet light.No other lights flash.The Router
doesnt appear to be sending a wireless signal,as the Laptop cant find it.

On pressing the reset button,the power light flashes red and green.

I have done a bit of research and people think that this is caused by the plug in PSU.They say that if they use a different one,
the unit works OK.The number is 332-10036-01.

Im wondering if this is correct,and how I go about finding a different PSU that will work on this model-as Im not wanting the same
type that is supposed to be for this Router.

Netgear routers all use a 12V dc power supply, and in the router power supply connector the inner terminal is positive and the outer part negative. Something like this (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=48484&OrderCode=L47BL) would be fine (just as an example).

Happy New Year Roseway.

Ive just quickly stuck a PSU from a Smartaxmt882 wired router on it,and the power light is constant green and the wireless light is on-so I'll
nip down to the mother in laws and see if it works there.

cheers
