Topic: Source for cheap 220v/240v power adapters for WRT54G

The content of this topic has been archived on 30 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I need to send a few boxes from the US to EU. Is there an inexpensive online source for universal (90-240v) or EU (220-240 v) power adapters for the WRT54G  (requires voltage around 12 volts and 1 Amp -  6 or 9  volts will also work).
Thanks

I actually found some cheap suppliers of 110/220 volt adapter for the WRT54G  in the US.
1. JWIN  www..ejwin.com  (look under Accessories/Adapters) has the JAC-82 for sale for $4.88  + shipping. The units come with a variety of interchangeable plugs  (the 2.1mm and 2.5mm ones work fine with the wrt54g) and a number of voltages including the required 12 volts.   The unit is heavy - more than a pound -  and they are unregulated - so don't use it with other hardware which may require regulated supplies.  You will need a Euro plug adapter - but you could find those in Indian or Oriental supermarkets for less than  $1
2. Netgate www.netgate.com  has a switching power supply 12 volts - 1 Amp with a 2.1mm connector and even a Euro plug. Currently (Jan 30, 2008) this is on special sale for $8.00 - marked down from $15.50  They have other regular priced units for $12.50.

The discussion might have continued from here.
