Sky netgear router problems
Discussion
Ive had my sky router, the white netgear one (cant find the model No.) for about 3 years now, yesterday it decided to stop working- the orange i light went off altogether, after a reset/hard reset it still wouldnt light up, even on boot up.
I had a spare identical router in the attic, so dug that out, plugged it in and it connected fine for about 12 hours then did the same thing.
The only difference is the only lights to work are the 1,2,3,4 whenever something is plugged in-there is no power, wireless or "i" light on.
Would it be possible that a faulty power adaptor has "fried" my router(s), I have everything plugged in to an anti surge so that hopefully rules a surge out, not sure if the "big freeze" could have had an effect?
Its just a bit too much of a coincedance that i now have 2 gubbed routers.
If I buy a sky router from ebay will it just plug and play, or do I need to register it or anything.
Sorry for long post.
Cheers
