The D-Link router is a 5 volt device. Connecting it to 12 volts will break it. It won't necessarily fail immediately, but it
will fail.

...and i did some research and apparently a part that we could not identify was actually a 12 to 5 volt converter, who's purpose is for the Dlink. Am I wrong about that? Would that not be the problem?

That would be
a problem.
The robot rules specify the required electrical wiring for the router. The electrical layout Graham linked to will show you exactly how to do it.
