    Last month, the power adapter to my router died out of nowhere. I wasted a ton of time troubleshooting literally everything else other than the power adapter because I’ve never had one die before the actual device itself.

    Of course none of the other adapters I had on hand fit. I had to order a new one…

      I’ve had that situation a few times.

      Just cut off the end and soldered it to another power adapter of appropriate voltage/amperage/pinning (be especially watchful in case one is centerpin positive and the others centerpin negative)
