  You're a goddamned idiot. ALL WJANs have EXTERNAL supplies in the form
of an outlet hung or floor placed "dongle".  If you are too many decades
behind to know what a dongle is, you have no business in this thread.

  You are 100% incorrect.  What a small wireless router invariably has is
a DC jack for PS input and an EXTERNAL supply, which you have no clue as
to how it is constructed.

 You already tried that "guess" horseshit, and it got you nowhere.  You
don't even know how modern gear is powered, much less anything about the
actual circuit.  You are pathetic, donkey fucktard.
