As long as the voltage is the same and the polarity is the same the amperage figure isn't really crucial as long as the power supply figure is equal too or higher than the actual current figure for the unit...
Be careful with that advise, since if its an unregulated supply it may only be 12v at the rated current, or a much higher voltage at a lower current. This could also cause stability problems or it could burn the router out altogether.
