You are making the power regulators work a bit harder and it will run hotter. You may get premature capacitor failure and/or device burn-out. I'd get the proper supply asap

Go to Radio Shack and pick up a variable AC adapter and it has a switch to finely adjust the output voltage so that it matches the routers required original input DC voltage/amperage if you cannot replace to the actual original...It just isn't worth your life, your family, neighbors, or the fireman's lives, that come to put out that fire in the middle of the night while your sleeping.
Do it today.
If not...Then GOOD LUCK! And may God rest your soul.
You don't perchance mess around inside old TV's and Computer Monitors too do you? Please don't unless you are trained in properly discharging them....The power in the cap's can kill sometimes up to 2 yrs. after they were unplugged (unless discharged properly that is). But, you might just as well, if you don't heed the advice of most posting the answer to this question ASAP, as your time may be short on the planet anyway.

If it works then you don't have any immediate problem, over time though using the wrong voltage and ampage will reduce the life of the modem. I suggest you try and find the right power supply so you won't have any problems in the future.

Most semiconductor voltage regulators will handle up to 35V. Just feel the case around the power-in socket occasionally to make sure it's not getting too hot with the extra voltage overhead.

For any application, continuously use a ability grant able to offering a minimum of 30% extra modern than would be drawn from it. i % to propose which you employ a grant rated for a minimum of 15 a non-cease output.

I have first-hand experience of this, you will most certainly blow the router. The router is made to accept only 12v regardless of amperage.

yeah it will work. you might find its running a bit hot. id not recommend it for the long term. but just remember if it starts to melt id turn it off!
