Went to go on the internet and no network connection.
Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Checked the router and no lights at all. After messing with it for a while I was able to get it to come on after disconnecting power for some time, maybe 5 minutes. You have to disconnect it for a while. Mine has a regular power switch, if I turn it off and back on no lights. If i disconnect and immediately reconnect still no lights. I have to disconnect it from the power supply and let it sit there for while, reconnect and I get lights and all is well.
The power supply for the router is 12 volts and 5amps. I checked with a multimeter and I'm getting 12.2 volts. Shouldn't the volts be higher? I checked another 12volt supply and that one is like 16 volts.
The next largest one I have is 1.2 amps so I can't swap them out.
Note I upgraded firmware after getting it going again and that had no affect. Model is netgear R6300. Probably a bad supply?
