Power Connection Options

Depending on the cable that you received with your product, you might need a plug converter

to connect the Internet adapter to the power adapter. If it is needed, the plug converter is

included in the box.

Figure 2. Plug converter

Make sure that the device where you connect the USB power cable is powered on. Some

USB ports on consumer electronic devices cannot provide the power that the Internet

adapter requires. In such cases, the power LED turns solid red and the Internet adapter

may reset itself or turn itself off. If this happens, try connecting the USB cable to a

different device, or use the Internet adapter power adapter instead.
