Is It Safe to Use a 12V 1A Adapter for the RG-RAP2200F AP That Requires 12V 1.5A?

I have an RG-RAP2200F access point, which specifies a DC 12V 1.5A power input. However, I am currently using a DC 12V 1A adapter. Is it safe to use this adapter for a short-term or long-term period? Are there any risks I should be aware of regarding the device's performance or lifespan?

Hi sir,

It is recommend you use 12V 1.5A adapter,sir,


Here are some possible problems:

Performance issues: If the access point RG-RAP2200F requires more than 1A current, it may not work properly or exhibit intermittent failures, such as frequent restarts and unstable connections.
Risk of equipment damage: Long-term use of a power adapter with insufficient current may cause the internal components of the device to overheat, thereby shortening the life of the device or even permanent damage. This is because the power adapter is overloaded trying to provide the required current, which can lead to overheating.
Adapter damage: Continuing to draw more current from the adapter than its rated value can also cause damage to the adapter itself.

Best regards,
Steve
