Linear power supply for a router


Hi: I have an Asus XT8 router that uses a 19V 1.75A SMPS. Would it be Ok to use a 19V 4.7A linear power supply with it instead of the SMPS? Thanks in advance. Jeff

I always over spec my lps,less stressed, greater reliability. I'd get lps that could supply at least 7amp, even more is better. This will be powered 24/7 so don't cheap out.

I use lps on my router, worth it for me to the point adding audiophile switch resulted in inferior sq.
