DC power requirements and socket specifications?

I just ordered one of these WN2500RP range extenders, refurbished, without the power adapter.

I want to run this range extender off a 12 Volt car battery, 18-20 hours/day.

What are the specs for the DC power requirements?
How many Volts?
Milliamps of current needed?
Polarity of the barrel plug ? The usual positive on the inside?
How big is the inside diameter of the barrel plug, in millimieters?
Outside diameter?

Most of this info, except for the barrel plug size, should be printed on the power adapter itself....

If someone would be so kind as to take a picture and post it, please..

    12V 1000ma. The plug size is 5.5mm outside diameter / 2.1mm inside.
