Intel should have listings on their website. > [snip] can I damage the hub if I get it wrong? Yes. You may need to open the router up and do some sleuth-work and trace the circuit out. If there is a diode or rectifier bridge with a filter-cap inside then it takes AC. If there is no filter-cap then it takes DC. Unless you are well versed in board level electronics, you may want to enlist the help of someone who does to help you figure this out. Or if you value your time you scam a new router off of someone and forget about it. > If I can get the thing working with a hub, I'll know that the problem is not > at the computer end.
