This one is version 1111. My current router is nearly identical but smaller and only one
antenna. It's been a real champ for a long time, I'm just trying to get some extra signal
on both ends of the house. I think I'll splice tomorrow. Now watch the hole in the center
of the plug be too large make contact with the pin in the router.

Seems like the 4.5V/600mA might be too underpowered. But what do I know? :dunno:

If the router or power brick isn't terribly well regulated, when/if the router attempts to draw 2 amps the voltage from the power brick might drop to a voltage level that will shutoff or restart the modem.
There are some routers that have 5 volt input, but the router itself has a transistor regulator with an input rating / capability of 3 to 19 vdc. Nice to use in a 13.8 vdc environment without the AC/DC power brick.

Splice. That router needs 4x the current than PS #2. That's a good way to watch it burn up on your wall
and make things smell nice, assuming it doesn't just melt the cable and cause a direct short.
Personally - I suggest you get a matching plug from Radio Shack because you're still going to have some
of the thinner PS cable attached to the plug UNLESS they are roughly the same.
Then don't worry about it if they are. Splice away.

Name me a few of those environments. Would one include The Pen Is Mightier?
