The AC/DC adaper that feeds my Solwise adsl modem has a bad wiring

can only find 9v 400mA, 300mA, not being to up on this what's the
difference and would a 400mA one be ok?

Keith, you will need something rated to supply at least 1100mA, like
this for example:

Thanks Steve / Martin. As usual the litrature that comes with the adsl
router doesn't say much, I just looked at what the old adapter was set
at, it can be switched to other voltages but Solwise have, for good
reason, put a 'seal' over the screw type switch. It definately states on
the device, which is switched to 9v, which has written on it 9v - 1100mA
or 1.1A.

I've moved the eold adapter to another location and made sure the lead
if free, not bundled with others, it seems ok now, but if the wiring is
'iffy' inside that could also pose a fire risk.
