Hi,

I just bought a new RT-AX86U Pro from Germany via Amazon. I'm in Australia and unfortunately the adapter that comes with it is EU only.

I have posted about this query in Reddit with varying comments and now saw your post on this forum and was hoping to get a more conclusive answer.

The router either accepts 12V 3A or 19V 2.31A input. I have an older Asus branded power supply for my current AC3200 router and was ultimately hoping that I could re-use that. The power adapter outputs 19V 2.37A, which is not exactly either one of the ratings specified on the box. However your post indicates that I may get away with using an adapter with those specs with my new router. Will not having the exact specs cause risk of damage/overheating or other issue with either the router and or the power supply. Last thing i need is to either fry the router, or start a fire.
