U can check the adapter's voltage and ampere rating, together with the polarity (+/-) of the contact point and its physical size in diameter.

Based on these four factors, go buy a third party adapter with the same voltage, ampere rating more than or equal to the original adapter's ampere rating, and with the same polarity and physical size in diameter.

What model you using? I diy a usb cable that can power up wrt54g with my usb port before. Despite the router is rated as 12v and 1a, you can still power it with any 5v 2a or 2.5a power adapter such as the one given by la fonera.

Either SLT, SLS, Challenger or Harvey Norman, whichever is cheapest and/or at your nearest convenience. :o

Yeah, the key thing is for the adapter to be able to supply at least the rated amperage of the original adapter. More is ok too. :)
