If you can find a right amp and volt multi power adapter at radio shack then you can splice the connector from the original adapter. Otherwise you would have to shell out a lot for the original dlink adapter.

Sent: Aug 1, 2009 7:51 PM Duncan, Steve and Zulfiqar, Thanks for the replies. I cobbled together a cord running from the +5 volt of a power supply to the jack and the router came back to life! So the power brick had just given up the ghost. Will now have to find a replacement. Thanks for the input. P.S.
