Using generic power adapter for Wi-Fi accesspoint
Hi guys,
My Wi-Fi access point (D-Link DWL-700AP) ceased to work, but I found out what the problem was. The power adapter is dead. However, in my junkpile I managed to find a generic power adapter from some old appliance, and it seems to work with the access point. Now, I have a question: Is it safe to use the generic one? I am afraid of burning down my house or something like that. The original adapter for the access point (now dead) said: Input: 100-240V, 50-60 Hz 0.5A Output: 5V 2A The "new" one (don't know where I got it from) reads: Input: 230V ~ 50 Hz 140 mA Output: 6V 2.1A (We have 230V 50Hz here in Denmark where I live) Thanks, Kind Regards, Jonas |
