Most likely the adapter is hot because the router fried. If there is a
short in the router, the demand for more current will make both get hot.
A quick diagnostic would be to smell your router. If it smells burnt,
it probably is.

Hi all,
Tonight I lost my internet connection and notice all the lights on my router
were out. It has been really hot and the power adapter was hot. Can I safely
assume (yes, I know the what happens when ...) it is the power supply, or
must I worry that the unit itself is gone belly up? It is four years old.
The replacement adapters are NOT readily available and I wonder if spending
~$30+ for an adapter that may or may not solve the problem is a wise
investment. Any insight and/or suggestions?
Thanks,
Jim Maki
