 The 7805 provides a current of 150 mA at 5 V, using the capacitors described in the page above. To increase the current, use a higher rated transistor, or add a heat sink to the 7805 (if you can deal with the losses). Will also need to ensure capacitors are rated to withstand the new, higher current at the given voltage.

	~~====Power~~ supply~~====~~		Notes on the power supply:

	The USB addition requires a power source of 5 V to power the USB device and interact with it. However, the router's power supply is 12 V. This means that a voltage regulator that will transform 12 V to 5 V is required.		The USB addition requires a power source of 5 V to power the USB device and interact with it.
