Linear power supply for a router

Hi: I have an Asus XT8 router that uses a 19V 1.75A SMPS. Would it be Ok to use a 19V 4.7A linear power supply with it instead of the SMPS? Thanks in advance. Jeff

I'd get lps that could supply at least 7amp, even more is better. This will be powered 24/7 so don't cheap out. I use lps on my router, worth it for me to the point adding audiophile switch resulted in inferior sq.
