where can i buy a power supply for my router?

[spanky]

i dug around a closet and uncovered a linksys router. its the BEFSR41... but i dunno where the power supply is. do i have to buy another one from linksys? or can i get something from radio shack to hook this jobber up?

should say what the input voltage is somewhere on it.
if its just a "roundie" (i dont know the real name of them, theyre common though)
if its something common like 9v DC 1a it will work, but if it uses a proprietrary connector, or is a wack voltage you might have to go straight to linksys

 

[spanky]

yes its a "roundie"... well at least the connector is round. i am looking at some other power supplies i have for other varies stuff and i see difference input voltages, output voltages, & figures in Hz, A, and mA. what is this stuff... and which ones are the ones that really matter?

 

[Colt45]

Hz is the same all over north america (60)

A or mA is what you should worry about (amperage)

but voltage is important too.

so try and find something within say 5% of whats required if you want it to work stable and/or not fry

spankyOO7, I'm running that router, and here's the markings on the wall wart:

Model#: AD9/1C
AC Input: 120V AC, 60Hz max, 0.15A
AC Output: 9V, 1000mA

Get one with the exact output voltage that you need. The amperage rating must be at least the same as you need, and can be higher. Get one of good quality. I had a cheapie on one of my daughter'devices, and it burned out and almost started a fire.
