I have an old Linksys BEFSR81B router that uses a unique 3-pin power plug. Unfortunately, I've lost the adapter and can't seem to find a replacement for it. The router looks like a box with this distinctive 3-pin setup, where two of the corners of the plug are slightly filled in. Any ideas on what type of adapter I should look for or where I can find one?

You might want to share a picture, but it sounds like you're looking for a standard barrel connector. Those are typically inexpensive and easy to find. Have you tried searching online for the power adapter specifications?
Not sure why you're using such an ancient Linksys DSL router; it's probably over 20 years old and supports only 10/100 Mbps speeds. But hey, if you're into vintage tech, that’s cool! You can definitely find the adapter on eBay. Just search for BEFSR81, not BEFSR81B, as there may be listings under that name. Here’s a [link to one on eBay](https://ebay.us/m/ZnfAq2) if it helps!
I appreciate the suggestion, but I’ve already searched eBay and couldn’t find it! The label on my router actually says BEFSR81B. I’m just using it for personal projects that don’t require super fast internet, and I've had it for a really long time.
