I got a second R7000 from Ebay (used) and it shipped with the wrong power supply (12V 1.0A). I already have a R7000 so I know OEM is 12V 3.5A. The eBay machine works fine with the OEM adapter I have.
I ordered a generic adapter for the R7000 from an Amazon vendor and selected "R7000" from their list. I just received a generic adapter with 12V 4.16A. The plug fits snug but I haven't dared to power it yet. Is the adapter Ampere rating "up to 4.16" and thus save to use or is it going to fry the router? I assume the 1.0A would not have worked as not enough juice and probably overheated and fried the adapter in the long run. But is this a good combination or should I sent it back and complain that it's the wrong item?
Thanks much. Playing with firmware is one thing, frying the board another...
