Hello, my Asus RT N66U router is having a problem, it seems that the unit can't be powered on and upon inspection, the power adapter indicator (the blue LED on the socket) didn't light up when connected. Do anyone/ASUS representative know where can I get the replacement for the power adapter, either original/non-original. Or is there any other method that I can use to test the router itself, 'cause I just want to know whether its the power adapter that is having problem or the router itself or both. Thanks.

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Nov 15 2014, 08:57 PM) RT-N66U uses a 19v adaptor rated at 1.58A which is about the same as most laptop AC adaptor provides. Using another 19v adaptor to test the router is fine as long as the amp rating is the same or higher than the original adaptor provides. But using another adaptor that provides lower or higher voltage is a definite no-no as it'll destroy the router. Basic informations that you should look on another AC adaptor to test the router: Same Voltage = Yes Same Amp = Yes Lower Voltage = No Lower Amp = No Higher Voltage = No Higher Amp = Yes You also have to make sure the charging tip & the polarity is the same. Refer the image below to find out which polarity is the correct one for your RT-N66U. I've already ticked the correct one for you.  Yup, just searched around and found out that typical laptop adaptor would suffice to power up the router but it seems that the charging tip is the problem as the RT-N66U uses uncommonly smaller tip (more common on netbook than typical laptop) |
