Router connection and amperage reduction

[[194224]]

OP - Maybe you've solved the problem, if so that's great.

If not, and you'd like to try a regulator similar to the type in Post #6 from Loddon I have a spare one. New, still in its sealed bag. Input 10 to 36V, output 12V at 4A max (48W). If so I'll put it can be yours for the price of postage. Please let me know today by PM. Thanks

Mods - if this contravenes the rules then I am sorry, please delete it. I'm aware of the For Sale section but as I am not charging for the item itself and I'm not offering it generally I'm not sure that's appropriate. I'm happy to be guided by you.

Measured my supply. I’m getting 14.1V and 12.7amps. I wonder, therefore, whether there is something in the router that stops it from working if there is too much current. If so, what do I need to get it working? Some kind of resistor or perhaps a fuse?

Did you put the meter on amps range straight across the power supply? If so you've discovered the current limit or internal resistance of your supply. Don't try that on a 240v supply!
