Do you have a volt meter to test the adapter to see if it is giving out the correct voltage?

 

That was one of the things I was wondering.  Brown out levels maybe, not enough to drive the unit?  Rare, but I have seen electrical surges make a normally passable electric line become like a coffee straw with throughput. 

 

Have you tried the unit with an outlet that isn't on that particular circuit?  Or as Zennon has indicated, do you have a way of getting a TRUE RMS* reading of the voltage hitting the unit?

*TRUE RMS: basically means the high and low points are sampled and a real average is given.  As opposed to just reading the highest point that spikes, which may not be enough to drive the load unit.

Customer service second to none

 

Nah you don't know what you're talking about, they offer no customer service! /s

 

I want to say this has happened before to someone else's router.  Duma Army beware of power outages/surges.

 

I've gone through so many routers/modems/ethernet cards due to power outages or surges. My house got hit by lightening once and fried everything that was plugged in.
