[onearmedscissor]

does anyone know a site that has a power cord that works with a linksys router? my power cord broke and i can't find any power cords that will work with it. thanks.

Just go down to RadioShack, and get one of their universal adapters; you should be able to get either an exact fit, or a universal one with different power/size options.

Do you have one of the old style with three pins in a triangle arrangement?

no it's just a regular one. all the universal adapters i saw online said they made dc power from ac, but i need to make ac power right? i called radioshack and they said they didn't have any power adapters that would work with a linksys router.

Could you possibly scan the label on the Linksys' power block and post a pic for us to check out? It should operate on DC power, so ViRGE's suggestion is a good one, we just need to not rely on RadioShack as a reliable source of information here

You can get 4 port wireless routers for under $20 with rebates and junk, I would just look to buy a new one

Your picture server seems to be down. Try pics.bbzzdd.com, one of the official AnandTech Forums picture hosts.

Whoa, 9V AC output?!



Maybe call Linksys and ask if they sell those, because I'm drawing a blank. Or declare it "not worth your time" and look for a hot deal on a new one like was suggested

I know, my head is spinning too. Very odd. :Q

You have to be careful here as Linksys seems to change their product revision and power supply on a weekly basis! For example, there are 12V WRT54G's and 5V WRT54G's. Luckily, the barrels are different sizes!

Cheers!
