Most routers are rated in HP. This is rated at 1400 watts. Does anyone know the conversion to HP so I can compare power with others? --NEVER MIND, just Googled it and answered my own question (2.3 HP approximately). Is this enough power for routing...

I don't believe you will have any problem. Have had this router for a few months and power is not an issue for hardwoods.

So How did it go Brent? I want to order this router as well and may just do it today. I am hoping they ship me V2 just to make my life easier. Would love some feedback from you.

The router draws 12 amperes at 120 volts. So 12 amperes times 120 volts equals 1440 watts.

I had the same results when I used an insufficient amount of amperage with a 12v 1000 mah power adapter, I then replaced the power adapter with an old Netgear router 12v 2 amp power supply I had and it worked like a charm after that. Hope this helps.

Like most routers, it has an external transformer and actually runs on 12VDC. The transformer that came with mine will only adapt 110VAC down to 12VDC. If you buy this in a country that runs 220VAC, it is possible they will include a suitable transformer. Otherwise, you could probably find a transformer that will take 220VAC down to 12VDC, or hack something together from an old transformer and the supplied transformer's plug and cable.

I don't know the true wattage or h/p. I processed 2 does with it this fall. It worked great. I had zero problems with it not being able to handle it. It buzzed through everything. Super easy to assemble and clean. Definitely worth it....

I run a small pc repair business, I've configured a lot of WIFI setups for customers. The hardest and the worst routers I've come across are Linksys. I purchased that one and finally just to get it out of my site sold it for 10 bucks. Never again will I purchase products from Linksys. Expensive, terrible support, and just plain not worth the effort. Check around Amazon for some really good deals on "N" routers, 20 or 30 bucks tops and no problem setting up. Hope this helps. Stevix

Bit works fine for me....I would suspect too deep a cut rather than the motor. Try several shallow cuts if you haven't tried this already.Note that I used a Porter Cable model 6912, which is 1 3/4 hp, same as the router power you used.Of course if the router vibrated before it touched wood then you have a balance problem. Unlikely.

I don't know if I would necessarily draw the conclusion that the router is no good. Wireless network setup can befuddle most novice users (and can even make experienced users pull their hair out). The #1 mistake most of the reviewers on here make is that they don't upgrade the firmware as the first step. That goes for any router though. It took me about 2 days of research before deciding in this router. I just ordered it though, and it won't arrive until Wednesday, so I can't give you my feedback on it yet.

it says Input: 100-240v~, 50/60Hz, 0.3AOutput: 12v---0.8AI was unable to use it for my cisco linksys router because the input jack piece was too big for the power supply hole on the router. I just kept it. Hasnt served a purpose for me yet. let me know if that helps.

Not for sure, but I dont believe the routers generate that much power (assuming there are controls in software to control), but the amped does have the power and software controls

I don't have an exact time. So far I've been experimenting with various speeds to see what works best. It just seemed that when I ran it on the top speed it was eating up power. I'll try a more rigorous test during the week and try to post it here.

Quick question; I continue to buy wireless components and was wondering if there is a limit to the number of wireless devices that can connect to this router? I have, computers, playstation, printers, DirectV boxes for several rooms, etc. that are all wireless and I would like to know the limtations of this device. Thanks in advance. ~ Gunner

The power of this unit is very strong, but it does not live well with a router that wants to refresh the IP lease. Check with Amped Wireless tech support to see if the Router you are using will work with it. Th Amped AC2000 is a wireless access point that has good range too and is happy on any network. good luck John

I do not think using HP to compare or rate a switch works very well. The comparison needs to use amperage and voltage ratings for the equipment and switch. This switch has a rating of 16 amps at 120 volts. Use the 16 amp measurement to compare to what ever you want to electrically control.

I just saw this demonstrated on HSN and am interested. So that means I'm researching and reading reviews. Noticed the one on the QVC site claims a 1700W, 2-1/4 horsepower motor. If correct, that's slightly different to this 1400 W motor.

I have Linksys G router and I needed two, but they really didnt seem to help much, another better router would help more, or put an update of tomato or some other firmware that allows you to boost power.
