Hi,

Check that the AC adapter is supplying 12V DC at its output plug.

If the adapter is OK then you‘ll need to open the router and inspect for any damage on the motherboard e.g. burnt out or blown components.

Especially look near where the power cord connects to on the motherboard.

Here’s the Ifixit Netgear WGR614v9 guides that will help to open it etc.
