External Linear PSU for Router - Voltage/Amps?


A technical question to aid in my rudimentary understanding of voltage and output.  How do I best match a replacement PSU to the wall wart voltage and amp output of my specific router -  a Netgear Orbi RBR 750 with specs showing 12V , 3.5 A DC ouptut.  I understand the 12V part but when viewing listings ( new/used ), I am finding most are showing amps above 3.5 with varying voltage.  

For instance a Teddy Pardo listing is showing a 15V 2A, and a TeraDak listing is showing 12V with either a 4A or 12A option.  How close to I stay to the V and A in my decision making?   I am looking to simply "clean" upstream a bit and wanted to start with a linear psu thats a reasonable $ amount ( $250 - $400) . Next step will be to add a switch.  Already have a solid ethernet cable ( Network Accoustics ) and streamer ( Aurender N200)  Also any recommendations on specific brands would help me out.

@erik_squires ​​@sns    Words of wisdom from both of you and many thanks.  I will search for a 12V linear power supply with amp output in the 5-7 range.  

I should have added:  There was a case, the only one I know of, for a Chord portable DAC, that the device relied on a low amperage to protect the charging rate of the batteries.  IMHO, a bad design choice made against convention.

I am very, very happy to see erik_squires posting again.

Thank you for returning here.  Your voice was missed.

I added an external linear PSU to my Netgear router, and it was well worth the investment. I opted for a "cheap" one from AliExpress (AUD$400) to see what it would do. It had a major positive impact. 

Now looking to upgrade to an Ediscreation PSU.
