As every one notices ASUS router has odd 19V adapters vs. rest of them using common 12V adapters.
Wonder what is the reason ASUS does that? To make adapters physically smaller for one? I always fiddle with
various routers and have to keep two DC source from my lab grade DC supply, 12V and 19V clearly marked. If I plug in 19V source by mistake to non-ASUS router, it'll burn up killing it. It can easily happen when adapter plug fits either either unit.
