The power adapter for the Gigabyte wifi router got overheated and finally burnt. Bought a universal adapter to replace it which also overheated and burnt.
So I bought a new Linksys wifi router. The adapter overheated after one night. Now, I’m using a universal adapter with 12V and 1A.
Please leave your comments if you know why this is happening. I’m totally clueless. In total 3 power apater got overheated.

1) Not the cable
2) Not the hardware
3) Does that mean it’s the wall/socket ?

hmm, might be the internal wiring perhaps.

I’ve unplugged the router and connect it an unused wall socket (with extension cables) so that it wont be sharing the same supply with other appliances. So far, 2 days have passed and although it feels hot, it’s not burning inside.
After some search on the net, there was a forum where this guy said that the power adapter for his notebook cools down a bit when it is connected directly and not with extension cable. So I’ve made away with the extension cable and plug it in directly. InsyaAllah it works this time.
