I am looking for more information about what is the acceptable DC input power range for the FS108. The datasheet only says 7.5V at 1amp. But there must be an allowable range, can someone please specify?

I'd need to look at the design of the regulator of the FS108 to decide that question. My guess would be that higher would be more likely to work than lower, but whether the design would tolerate that in the long term is another question (to which I lack the answer).
A quick+dirty(+cheap) scheme might be to put a couple of Si diodes in series with the 9V supply to drop/waste about 1.4V. Not classy, but probably good enough. And a little better than a direct connection to 9V.
I need to install this unit as part of a larger assembly and will not be using the standard AC to DC wall adapter. Would like to know if either 5V or 9V would work instead of 7.5V.

The ProSAFE range is pretty esoteric kit compared with the General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk) devices covered in this bit of the forum. I doubt if ProSAFE experts hang out here.
