Unfortunately, Maplin have done some wierd stuff with the website
regarding specifications, like plastic boxes but with no dimentions.
They'll tell me how much discount I get if I buy multiples but not the
size of the box! I have the paper catalogue (which should be redundant
but isn't).

Example choices are:-

PL61R 5V 2A
PJ85G 5V 2.5A
N92AT 5V 4A
N93AA which is called "world wide digital camera adaptor" which is rated
at 14.7VA max and does 5V (max is 7V @ 2.1A so on 5V should be fine)

The travel adaptor that Mohammed has ordered is rated at 1.6A with 240V
input and 1.2A @ 110V input when providing 4.5V output.

I'm wondering if that 2.5A is actually what the router requires or
whether the present PSU is just over rated.

Mohammed, if you want to, just return the one you've bought without
opening or you could try it. If you want to return it, you have the
legal right in the UK to do so within 7 days commencing the day after
you receive the item. This is covered by the "Distance Selling
Regulations". Note: The product wrapping must be unopened and you have
to pay the return postage. However I think you'll find that this one
comes in a box without shrink wrap. ;)
