Asus Router power supply

I have bought an Asus RT-N65U router and it has come with an EU power supply. I should send it back but if I can get a proper UK power supply reasonably I would be happy. It is 100-240V input and 19V with max. 1.58A current output and it has a very small tip (technical term!)

Does anyone know where I can get one or advise me on a suitable alternative?

    An EU to UK plug adapter should do the trick no need to buy a new way wart.

    My box contained a adaptor block that connected to a UK 3pin block .

    Input reads as .08 amp output 1.58 amp .

    The shape of the 'wall wart' means that it protrudes out from the wall by about 3-3.5 inches - and the cable comes straight outwards from that. I have a couple of adaptors but at best they will increase that by at least 1 inch, it would just be too long and easy to knock.

    I have seen and now bought on Ebay an adaptor that drops out the bottom of what looks like a standard 3 pin plug - might be the answer!

    But as I say if I could get a proper UK power supply I would like to.

    What is it you want tooloud?
