Re: How to hook up the router without a WAGO connector.
The normal 12 volt connectors on the power distribution board won't work. The 12 volt supply at the bottom is always 12 volts, no matter what the battery voltage is. The normal ones with breakers can drop as low as 8 or 9 volts during driving. If you're looking for a quick solution, it's possible to skip the 12 volt to 5 volt converter and connect the radio directly to the 5 volt supply on the bottom of the board, but make sure you get the polarity correct!
