Thanks @antigrunge2 , it seems at 12v it outputs only 1.9A. Is that going to be enough when it needs 2.5A?
Which External Linear PSU Upgrade for my Router?
I'd like to upgrade the wall wart PSU on my Netgear Nighthawk RAX50v2 router to a linear PSU.
The output is 12v, 2.5A 30W
I'm looking at a LHY Audio one - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005350110413.html
But i'd like to know what else is out there. Would appreciate your thoughts.

W=VA 12V is your given and you need a power supply that provides "at least" 2.5A at 12V, so at least 30W. Sbooster power supplies are fairly well-respected and this one would work for your situation. The 12V model provides 3A, which is fine for your needs. Ifi power supplies are not linear supplies, but they are designed for low noise and many seem to like them. This 12V model provides 4A, which works for you. This model only provides 2A at 12V so wouldn't provide enough power for your needs. |
Fidelizer Audio Nikola LPS. I own their Airstream - used as an access point after my Nighthawk. I also have 3 of these - along with multiple tweaks for cleaning power. A router puts a high demand on an LPS - especially for streaming movies and gaming. Be sure to get one that has a decent heatsink. Unlike a DDC or DAC which has a minimal load and barely gets above room temperature. |
