Default Power Cable

Does anybody know where can I buy a power cable for this router? Or
even a good substitute for it. How do I find one?

The power cable of my router is damaged and so the connection is dodgy
or does not connect at all. The router is quite good because I have
tried using a cable from other router.


Look on the existing power adaptor, sometimes call a wall wart, for the
voltage, amps & polarity. It will be either on a label or moulded into the
plastic.
Then measure the connector.
Metric drill bits can be used as a guide to both the external & internal
sizes. Without digital or dial calipers it's hard to differentiate between
2.1 & 2.5 mm for example.
I've not seen any connectors in Imperial sizes
This will give you the specs to look for.
