My Linksys WAG120N Power Adapter seems to have died as it's not working on either of the ADSL routers I have. Only power LED glows intermittently in both ADSL router. I hope my WAG120N is not dead because connecting the power adapter to other ADSL router resulted in same symptoms but the other router worked fine when powered with it's own adapter.

I need to buy a 12V 1A adapter, what are teh choices I have ? I could find Teking power adapter on ebay india. Not sure if it will work flawless.

well, the point is that using the same adapter, I get the same symptoms in both router (intermittent blinking LED).
