Another Powerpole pair went on the converter's 5 volt output. We haven't tried the converter to make sure it works yet, but we'll certainly measure its output before we connect the router.
We got ours up and running. Seems to do the job. Also, if your students have not noticed, there are labels on the back side that should make it all pretty easy. The black wire with the white stripe for the Dlink thing is the positive (+) and the regular black wire is the negative(-).
