I'm not Mr. electric, but.. I think you just need to work out how many
amps each of the APs draws make sure that the power supply can supply 3x
that at 12v. eg if each AP draws 0.5amps then you need a power supply
that does 1.5 amps and 12 volts. I would lean towards a single power
supply with higher amps rather than 2 put together in some sort of
series, I'm not sure how well that would work and wouldn't want to try
it. But.. there's probably someone on the list with a better idea than
me.

Anyone??
