Question Can I use this power supply for my Wavlink router ?

[Rahat_]

Hi, recently my Wavlink WL-WN531G3 REV. A Router's power supply got fried and not working anymore.
It's a P050W2000E power supply that was supplied with the router.

Now i found a new power supply that's from a TP-LINK device, it says 50/60hz 0.3a and old one is
50/60hz 0.25a

i also saw some generic and good branded power supplies that are 50/60hz 0.4a, 0.5a etc etc.

Can the tp-link power supply run wavlink router without any issues like overheating, overload etc?

You have to match plug size, output Volts and output Amps.
Original adapter P050W2000E is 5V, 2A.
And tplink replacement also is 5V, 2A.

Compare plugs and see, if they match.
If they match, then you're good.

But tplink replacement doesn't have EU connector.
You'll need additional connector coverter.

UK plug is fine for me, i have switch socket for UK connector

power supply can have higher amperage, it just cannot be lower

please elaborate

please elaborate

amperage is taken by device, if you use lower amperage power supply, it will overheat or burn (power supply or cables) as it wasnt designed to run at such amps, on the other hand, higher amperage psu wont send more amps to device, its just power capacity, device would eat what it needs

were you talking about 2Amperage or (50/60hz) 0.3amperage?

im sorry im not tech savy 😅

or can i use more that 2A?

Lets say you have a device that is designed to use 1.5 amps of power. What the manufacture does is recommend a power supply of say 2 amps. They want to be sure that there is some extra just in case.

If would now need to replace the power supply and you purchased say a 10 amp power adapter the end device would still only use its designed 1.5 amps.

As long as the new power adapter has a higher amp rating than the old one it will work might just be wasting money. Kinda like buying racing tires for your economy card that you only drive on normal streets. The tires have the capacity to go faster but you will never use them for that purpose.

Note the voltage rating does not work the same that must match or at least be very close.
