Rt-ac66u power jack

[Pierino]

Could anyone with an open ac66u, n66u or 56u tell me if the power jack has a part number on it?
I'd like to see if I can order the part.

There's no visible part number on the top or side of it.

This came up on Amazon right away. It is not the same as the unit that comes with the router, or at least not like the two I have, but as long as the power output is the same it shouldn't matter. You will also need a standard three prong power cord.

Thanks RMerlin.
DaveMishSr, I need the part the adapter plugs into but thanks.

I guess it will be hard to nicely replace the socket on the board, you better solder the adapter wires directly to the board.
The power plug design is a bit weak, probably due to the limited space on the back of router.

I just got a RT-AC66U and am rather horrified at the jack. It looks straight out of a mobile phone. To run 19v at 1.5a through it is rather over the top.

I thought there was supposed to be a general agreement to standardise on 12v for most network equipment. I run all my stuff off SLA batteries.. so this will need to be worked on.. I will post back when I find a suitable plug that fits the Asus and how to power it using laptop car adapter from 12v so it doesn't need mains power.
