I was going for an SSR because it should be easier to use, meaning I can control it directly from the arduino without using a transistor. The relay suggested by jwatte is not suitable for my project because the wireless router uses about 0.8A.
Moreover I having some difficulties in finding non SSR relays supporting at least 60vdc and more than 1A.
If I go for a mechanical relay what should I use to drive it? Is a regular NPN transistor with a 1k resistor on the base enough? I would then put the emitter to ground and the collector to the control pin of the relay. Right?
Thanks
