If the input to the router is 12vdc, then your router uses an external psu. You are lucky.
yippee!
Just buy a new regulated power adapter.
What is the input and output for this? I have tried these options till now: 1) BAD: directly used a 110ac pri/12Vdc sec adapter with 230Vac supply obviously no go. 2) Got a 230Vac to 110Vac converter and used it with above 110Vac adapter. Still no go. I mean the power LED on router does not glow.
Dlink uses these with their switches and routers. Make sure you buy the dc adapter.
Any possibility of getting the router repaired if it got fried by 230V ?
If the input to the router is 230vac (power cord coming out of the router), u are in no mans land. You will have to open up the router and check the fuse and switching transistors. If the transistors are blown u will have to tap out wires and connevt an external adapter. VERY PHAT WARNING: you could get a nasty shock and burn down the neighbourhood.
