OT: Netgear Router Power Polarity
 
I have a Netgear router RP114 and I lost the power adapter for it. I bought a replacement from Radioshack, but I need to know whether the router use a positive or negative polarity for its power source. I can not find any information on the web, and I do not feel like registering for spam just to find a tech support email address just yet. Anyone have this router or know what polarity the power source for it is?

I think I have one of those, Fyron, but for some reason I recall it being a hub instead of a router. Let me check in my attic to see what it is that I actually have.

Nope, you're right, it's a NAT router. I have the power supply for it. What do I need to tell you?

Does this answer your question? The CD doesn't tell nor does the paper documentation. Attached is a photo of the power supply. Circled is red is what I guess you need.

Thanks. That is exactly what I needed.

You certainly don't want to reverse the polarity on the reverse power coupling. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif, or you might get a feedback pulse that overloads the warp core matrix.

And then you'll have to remodulate the warp core shielding with subspace buffers to compensate

Actually, if you get a feedback pulse, it will probally vaporize the dilithum crystal. That would create an insane amount of UNCONTROLLED energy in the warp core, flooding it with it, breaking through the shielding(remodulating it won't help, its solid...), flood the enginnering room with plasma WHILE still producing energy. The control feeds for the matter and antimatter would probally vaporize as well, intermixing both, in a catastrophic explosion as ALL the matter and ALL the antimatter in storage combines and is converted into energy, making a really, really, really big explosion, sending a subspace shockwave through lightyears of space, tearing apart ships, planets, and stars in the way. Would be great for a megabomb http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Or...it could just not work http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Actually, if you are able to reroute the energy through the subspace matrix framistat, you might just be able to create a space-time flux field, and, if you are indispensable enough to the plot of the series, then you could utilize the deux ex machina surge to propel the ship back in time to the exact point just prior to the problem. But it's all very risky captain, and I give it a one chance in a million to work. But its the only chance we've got.

Just bleed off the energy through the deflector dish, and create a subspace anomaly. Elementary, my dear alarikf.

But if you do that you still haven't solved the problem of the vaporized dilithum crystal. Now, I'll grant you that bleeding off the energy through the deflector dish is one possiblity (even though, good god man, it's never been done outside of a controlled environment!) but I would think the only way to get the crystal replaced if you do this (in order to avoid the Klingons) is to tune the deflector dish so that the energies are in phase-line-mode with the Klingon hull stress nodes. If this happens -- and it alone is impossible without a superhuman brain at the controls -- then you might, just might, possibly be able to vaporize the klingon ship while leaving its dilithium crystal intact. But, this has only been theorized in my paper back at the academy, and there is no way to test it especially since, if the energy bleed off starts a subspace reaction it might destroy us and everything in the entire star system. But, dammit Scotty, it might be the only chance we've got.

The guy who played scotty wrote a three-book series with S.M. Stirling.

You know how in some books you can just tell both authors are just itching to get the book going the way they wanted? Reading that one was like reading a tug-of-war. Everytime SMS came up with a new way to make the aliens menacing, What's-His-Name came up with a new way to make the aliens friendly.

It was funny, in a I-Hope-Neither-Of-These-Guys-Does-A-Series-Together-Ever-Again kinda way. (At least not unless they figure out how to solve these differences of creative opinion, because it was well-written)

Anyway, I babble.

I stay well clear of those things. Their only purpose is to cash in on a celebrity name. I do like Richard Dreyfuss and Harry Turtledoves collaboration however (now if only I could get around to finishing it)
