Last night, when I was using the internet, suddenly, my connection died. I noticed that my wireless router wasn't lighted up anymore so I thought that the router died. Anyway, while looking for my receipt so that I could go and make a warranty claim as this one has lifetime warranty, I found an adapter in my old packing for this router.
So, in my mind, I was thinking, let's see if the router died, or only the adapter. Without thinking, I plugged in the adapter to the router and switched on power. The lights went on so I said to myself, "Ah, the router works. It's just the adapter that died."
Suddenly, I realized that I may have plugged in the wrong adapter. I powered off and checked the output voltage of my adapter and true enough, it's not the same as what is required by the wireless router. SHIT!
Now, I need to pretend that I don't know what happened, that the thing died on me and ask the shop to check what is wrong. If it's the adapter, I will ask if they have a spare one, if not, I will have to go and buy a compatible adapter.
If the router itself is now cranky no thanks to the wrong voltage, I'll make a claim. My one year is up so I will have to bear shipping charges. SAD. :(
