You have voltage correct, voltage must match. Amps listed on component's power supply is generally a minimum of what's needed, so you need lps rated for at least 3.5A, Absolutely no harm in lps supplying over 3.5a, in fact the more the better, helps in keeping heat down on lps because lps working at less than maximum capacity. The 4amp TeraDak would work fine, only issue I have is routers may be working 24/7 drawing higher amps than some other equipment. For max reliability over long term I use lps with higher amp output with my Netgear router, I'd go for 5 to 7 amps output, 12a you're looking at just fine, just spending more money than need to.
External Linear PSU for Router - Voltage/Amps?
A technical question to aid in my rudimentary understanding of voltage and output. How do I best match a replacement PSU to the wall wart voltage and amp output of my specific router - a Netgear Orbi RBR 750 with specs showing 12V , 3.5 A DC ouptut. I understand the 12V part but when viewing listings ( new/used ), I am finding most are showing amps above 3.5 with varying voltage.
For instance a Teddy Pardo listing is showing a 15V 2A, and a TeraDak listing is showing 12V with either a 4A or 12A option. How close to I stay to the V and A in my decision making? I am looking to simply "clean" upstream a bit and wanted to start with a linear psu thats a reasonable $ amount ( $250 - $400) . Next step will be to add a switch. Already have a solid ethernet cable ( Network Accoustics ) and streamer ( Aurender N200) Also any recommendations on specific brands would help me out.

@erik_squires @sns Words of wisdom from both of you and many thanks. I will search for a 12V linear power supply with amp output in the 5-7 range. |
