You can connect the USB power cable to a USB port on a nearby device. If the Internet adapter is not getting enough power, the following can occur:
•The Power LED is red.
•The Internet adapter resets itself intermittently or turns itself off.
Check to make sure that the device with the USB port is powered on. If so, it is likely that the USB port you are connected to does not provide enough power for the Internet adapter. Try using the power adapter. See Power Connection Options on page 5.
