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. Steve Zulfiqar Naushad wrote: I would suggest just getting

Rick, That is pre-zactly what I have seen also. RShack is convenient. No argument. A good commercial electronics supplier that is local can be really tough. I think I am lucky, finally! I now have a local Electronics Source I can use. I'm not overly crazy about their in-house choices of
