School project- convert to battery
I am working on a project for school and I want to convert my wifi extender that I plug into the wall to a portable battery powered device. I can not find anything on the subject. I can not even find...

Then open the unit find the point where 120V AC is converted to DC voltage.
One is pos(+) , the other one is neg.(-) If possible getting a copy of schematic
is best but if it is not possible, you can draw out schematics reading the PCB
traces and silk screen. Most likely it is 12V DC.

What kind of school project is this? Since the WN3000RPv2 has a built-in AC plug, you would need to physically open the extender and measure the DC output of the AC to DC rectifier. Unless you know what you are doing, you could easily shock yourself or worse.
