Ok thanks a bunch for the help. So you don't think the cord will fry the router because of the higher input voltage? In the manual it says not to use one that exceeds 125v

The input rating is to show you that you can use the power supply within a wide range of voltage. It's unlikely you'll exceed those figures on a house power system. No one is about to build an adapter to connect it to a dryer outlet or range outlet, but it would work there too!

@PatrickTrauth This will be absolutely fine - it would be anyway, but particularly as the one you have has a greater input range then the original. The router only cares about the voltage it receives and that the current is not less then what it needs.

The connector also has to have the same polarity.

Thank you so much to everyone you are all life savers! I think I understand what you guys mean about the input volts and the polarity. Only thing I'm still unsure of is it safe that the power supply I was considering getting inputs 1.2a instead of 1.5a?
