Hi,

A friend has lost her power supply for the BT Voyager 2000 wireless
modem and is happy to replace it with a generic power supply, but I
don't know if it has any special power requirements. Can someone who
has one (or someone who knows, write) look and tell me what the power
specifications of the standard power supply are on it - ie. voltage
("V") and current (in Amps, "A", for the non-techy) or if it just
mentions a power rating in Watts (W). I'd guess it'd be 12 volts as
that's one of the standards, but want to make sure I get one that can
cope and has suitable output that won't bust it...

BT has stopped selling this one, they've got a newer one out - just
spoke to them, but couldn't find out while on the phone what the spec
was.

Thanks in advance,

John.
Reply on here will do fine, or by email if you must but this address

I'd guess it's the same as most of the Voyager range - this is for the
2100.

Output: 16V, 1A.

Might be tricky to get an aftermarket PSU providing 16V, though.

15V is easy enough though, or 19V if you feel brave enough.

I assumed that was obvious.

Why? Quite a few PSUs are AC-only, with DC conversion done inside the
device.

I've yet to find a small appliance like that with an AC input.

So did I, which is why I didn't mention it in the original Q.
It's qualified anyway. Yes, 16v could be hard to find. I've had one
before with 3,5,6,9,12 and maybe 20v or something (I forget, it bust
some years ago and didn't end up needing a replacement).

I disagree.. I'm not quite a real petrolhead, but I own a Scooby and
know quite a few people I'd definitely class as petrolheads who
haven't owned an Alfa.
Or is it just a way of telling the world about yours? Sorry, I digress
from the pc techy talk...

Not sure about this. Mine shows 12v, 1A, DC, centre positive.

Might be a different release of the same router which doesn't have
integral rectification. I have measured my AC power unit and it is
definitely 12V AC not DC. Yours does sound like it's DC which is more
usual for a plug-top PSU.
