Re: D-Link power feed - converter

Referring to the back of the converter...

12v side:
  • red(+) -> white wago connector -> PD reserved wireless connection
  • black (-) -> same wago
5v side:
  • yellow(+) -> white stripped wire leading to barrel connector
  • black (-) -> solid black wire to barrel connector
The barrel connector and wire can be cut off the wall wart that came with the D-Link, or use last year's (if it's the right size), or purchase one.


TEST with a multi-meter before connecting the barrel connector to the D-LINK.
Red lead inside the barrel, black lead on the outer casing.
Center MUST be positive and Must read +5v.
