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.
