Power supply for Linksys WAP354G

The rating on the power supply (1.2A) is the Max current the unit can supply. The router draws draws far less than this. As long as the lead from the power supply has + to the centre contact, you are OK.
You would only have a problem if your router drew (say) 2 amps and your PSU was rated at 1.2 A. It could overheat.
Don't get confused between Volts and Amps.
Volts are the electrical "pressure" across the circuit; Amps are the actual electrical current being used by the device. You often see (hear) news reports of someone being killed by a current of 50,000 Volts - Wrong !0
