Seems like you burned out the power supply section of the motherboard in the router.

The router uses a 12V DC supply and no doubt the adapter that you plugged into it supplies 19-20V DC.

The router uses a 12V DC supply and no doubt the adapter that you plugged into it supplies 19-20V DC as this is the more usual voltage for laptops.
Open the router and inspect for any obviously damaged components. Hopefully there will be still enough information on them to know what their values are so that they can be replaced. The type of component is usually found by looking at the designation on the circuit board where they are mounted e.g. R=resistor, C=Capacitor, F=Fuse etc.
Here’s the ifixit [[Topic:OnHub]] guides that will help to open the router etc.
If you’re not quite sure, then post some close up images of the damaged section of the board. Here’s how to do this on ifixit. [guide|21499]
