Anyone else lost a router?

We lost a protective switch earlier this year. We were using a cellphone power supply with the correct voltage rating, but a lower amperage rating. The switch tried to pull too much current, the cellphone power supply fried, and that fried the switch in turn.

It was a deperation move when we were at West Michigan and they announced they were out of DS's, and we only had 1 working port.

We'll be working on something a little more robust and easier to lug around than one of the 12V batteries...
