Nighthawk MK83 AC adapters - where can I find them to replace mine

I have the Nighthawk MK83 mesh system (3 units) and have lost my AC adapters from moving.  I cannot find anywhere to purchase them online.  Is there a universal adapter that will work for these?  Or any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

    You can use generic adapters. You just have to make sure the output from the adapters is the exact same for polarity and voltage. The amps can be higher. 

    For the MR80 its 12v with 2.5amp

    for the ms80 its 12v with 1amp

        They're 12v. most generic power adapters should have the proper polarity
