So a lightning strike seems to have blown my router adapter which had a 12v DC 2 amp output adapter.
I am currently (no pun intended) using a spare adapter with 12v DC 1.2 amp output. This works fine for now, and I've turned the second wireless radio off just to be sure it doesn't want to draw more amps than can be supplied.
So my real question is--suppose I used an adapter with 12v 10 amp? Do the devices draw only what they need, or would the 10 amps smoke the router? Taken a step further...if I had to in a dire emergency, could my car battery (12v DC 700 amp) be spliced to the router adapter plug and not smoke the router?
Thanks, James
