5v - 3A, AC Adapter? Man, this is tough to find...

[edro]

For a Linksys router I have. 5v, 3A....... Any plug on the end will work.... I can replace it.

Thanks if you know of any good places to get one!

Found one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3417735958&category=11168

What router do you have that requires 3A at 5V? Seems like an awfully high power requirement for something like that.

would be easy enough to make if you got teh skillz

Yeah, I could. After all, I go to DeVry! 😀 I want a regular fully enclosed AC Adapter though.... not a craptastic power supply.

It is the regular 4 port Linksys router.... I don't know the model...

Should be a model # on it somewhere.... looking at Linksys's site, the BEFSR4 is their 4-port Cable/DSL router, and it requires 9V @ 1A, not 5V @ 3A...

Wow... okay.... I was going by this: ftp://ftp.linksys.com/datasheet/befsr41ds.pdf for the data for the router... guess I was wrong... they must've changed the power requirements with v.2 of the BESFR41.

Yeah.... believe me.... it suprised me too. 3A for that little thing? WTF!

 

[Bignate603]

Couldn't you use a bigger 5v one? It's my understanding that 3A is the max output because it's not always going to put out 3A. It has a potential difference of 5v, and depending on the resistance of the device it can supply up to 3A. So if you use a suppy rated for higher current but the same voltage I don't think it should hurt it.

Can somebody verify that? That's just what I'm thinking but I could be wrong...

 

[edro]

You're right.... but that's not the problem. The problem is that nothing uses 2A or over! So.... finding one higher than 3A is just as tough as finding a 3A one.

Good thought though.... thanks!

d'oh... well at least I know my theory is right, though I can't use it in practice.

I found something that you might be able to get to work
