Take a better look at "repair".

R65-L requires that the performance and specifications after the repair need to be identical to the ones before repair. Also, see Q293 and response. If, after a repair, the specs are different/better, you might actually have an upgrade, which is not allowed.


I assume you're using one of the cords you got with the router, and not an aftermarket one? And that it's NOT tight/has strain relief?
