Got a great soldering iron from my old car hi-fi days - its actually a variable temp one from RS.

Not too fussed if I mess it up anymore than it is as it is on its last legs anyway.

I did think about the power supply, but with the only meter I have at the moment (a cheapo one) it seems to be giving out the correct output, although I haven't tested it under load.

I did actually notice that the router has been running a lot colder than usual - which is the opposite of what I would have expected. In fact you'd be forgiven for thinking it wasn't switched on. Whereas usually it is warm (not too warm) to the touch.
