Router issues - keeps dropping connection

So we had a power cut overnight. Powered everything off then back on again. Initially, the smart hub router worked fine, however, I couldn’t get the 2 booster boxes to connect. Later today, the smart hub keeps loosing connection. EE have said the power supply will be damaged and I’ll need a new one. How is that so when it has power and is working as I’m typing this message.

@Diguelo Green/white flash is the more reported PSU Failure, 50W PSU well than more covers the current required, worth a look at the EE one for the current rating when it get's to you eventually!

Well the old ones been stripped. According to what Im seeing in the thing its a poorly designed setup. A component search and a schematic, Im reckoninng this one has a max power output ofr around 20 - 25 W which oin a unit with a 30W need is an accident waiting to put you offline.

The new power supply purchased locally chucks out 50 - 60W @ 12V DC and hasnt even got warm yet after 24 hours of use. Connections stable with no speed twitches.

Old one had what appears to be a 13.6V regulator in it. Making it do all the power work in multiple countries. Cheapness rules

Can I ask where you got your power supply? Or can you tell me what size the jack/plug is as I'm unsure what size to order. Thanks! 

@Lizzy65432 Sizes for you at least

but it is a centre positive 12v d.c. rated for at least 3 amps power adapter and the connection may be the barrel with a 3.5mm/1.35mm
