not thrilled thus far

Yeah that would make sense. I do see on the bottom where it shows a 12v 1amp input. My wireless router shows 12v 500mA input. Crap. And I do know that ringing is definitely the biggest draw, without a doubt (I still remember the nice bites I've felt from all of the work I do on phone, when someone calls.

Guess I'm stuck without service until they can send me a power supply, unless I find one (which I'm fairly positive I don't have).

"Rent" one from Radio Shack, or Best Buy or Walmart. They sell the "multi-use" wall warts (or routers where you can "borrow" a power supply).

I've heard of people "Borrowing" a tent from Sears. I would never do that.
I do know its easy to mix up power supplies when many are in one place . . .
That's the danger of making the wiring more tidy. (That's my story and I'm sticking with it!)

A tent and a wall-wart are slightly different. Besides, while current may vary as might the plug at the tip neither one would cause a failure if one has a slight bit of knowledge and takes care.

That being said, all my power supplies are tagged so I can't mess them up. Easy to do with a Dymo or a piece of tape and a Sharpie or some nail polish.

I felt-pen my gizmos to say what power supply it needs, if it's not marked. And the polarity on the plug; a few are backwards from common sense.

There oughta be a law about these things. I vote: Everything should input 5VDC at 1A max.
