Just heard that our power converter is toast. Going there in about an hour to see if I can get things working. Put together a 12V to 5V linear for a temporary patch, hope I don't need it. Probably hook it up to the camera supply until we get a replacement.

Took a look at the D-Link user manual, it uses 3.3V internally with a maximum current of 1.435A. (Never saw a spec of current consumption out to 3 places.) So apparently, there it has an internal dc/dc to drop the 5 down to 3.3V. I would be suprpised if it was less than 85% efficient, so (3.3*1.435/0.85) is 5.6W, which suggests it really needs about 1.11 amps at 5V input.
