We cannot set up our camera electrically, we cannot get a connection using the crossover cable. We are not sure what to do....is our camera fried? If so.. our router could be soon...

Why was the camera connected to 12V?
Also, like mentioned before, the wiring diagram for the power converter is on the back of the converter. It's pretty self explanatory. You have an input (12V) and you have an output (5V). That 5V goes to the Dlink AP/Bridge/Router/Does-it-all device, and only that Dlink device. Wire the 12V side to the old Linksys's 12V power connection. Just follow the wiring diagram you linked to.
I hope you didn't fry anything. Try to connect it all properly first, then come back and tell us what's going on. Don't panic. Take it easy. Think it through. Follow instructions.
If you're totally clueless on wiring, the Black wire is Negative/Ground (-), Red/Yellow wire is Positive (+)
