Re: Wiring a router without a VRM

R51: The Wireless Bridge power must be supplied directly by the 12V 2A output of a CTR Electronics
Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) (P/N: am-2857, 217-4245) and must be the only load
connected to those terminals.

TL;DR you have to use the VRM

But I presume that you are not looking for competition legal. Still, every other power output terminal on the PDP is 10A, 20A, 30A, or 40A max so if there was to be an issue your radio could be destroyed.

Still TL;DR bad idea
