Telkom router power supply needed.

[DjStyles]

I received a wireless router from a family member the other day to use at my folks place. Only problem is it did not have a power supply. Can someone please advise me as to how to get a power supply for this thing?

I'm not 100% sure of the model, but I seem to recall something like "Telkom 105WR" on it somewhere.

If anyone has a power supply lying around at home or know where I can get one in CPT, please let me know.

Check on the power supply socket - they normally state the voltage. You can then go to zakspeed/yebo electronics/ellies and get a power supply rated for that voltage.

The Telkom routers are quite special- it doesn't say what voltage it uses.... not on the power supply aka surge protector, nor on the router itself. I am assuming though it uses 12V, which would be the standard.

That wouldn't be up to SABS standard AFAIK. Tsk tsk!

Hi All,

The Mega 100WR, Mega 100WR2 and the Mega 105WR all use 9V PSU's.
The actual current drawn depends on how you are using the Router ( How many PC's are connected, whether USB, WiFi are been used, connection speed, Data been downloaded etc) what we supply the router with is a PSU capable of 1 A (or 1000mA if you prefer it in mA)

If you are going to use an alternative supply, which in terms of warrentee we do not recommend, you should try to match these values. Using an under rated supply may work, but but could result in unstable operation at times.

While using a 12 V Psu will work, it will result in the router running hotter, wich will result in reduced router lifespan.

I can recomend the use of a surge protecting supply, due to current electricity supply conditions, as will as the upcoming lightning season.

Hope this helps.

9V 1 A (1000mA)

I tried that with my Mega 100WR. didnt work; switched to a 12V 1A power supply and now its working like a charm
