You'd be perfectly right on some equipment but it is very dependant on the equipment, but modern day home/soho routers don't make use of anything above 5V on the main boards (the signal voltage is only between 2.2 and 2.8v)... the only ones that do use 12v would be something like a cisco with built in drive or serial connections and on them you would either find a regulated seperate 12v supply or an unregulated 14-18v supply...or even an internal multi voltage psu (switch or transfromer based..)
Anyway I'd personally keep the 1.2A psu the OP has but in the end it's upto them, if they don't feel safe about it no info I can give will stop them from wanting an original PSU, in that case there's absolutely no harm in either swapping or keeping..their choice
