Power Connection Options

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

to connect the wireless access point to the power adapter. If it is needed, the plug converter

is included in the box.

Figure 2. Plug converter

You can power on your wireless access point using either of these methods:

• Method 1: Connect the wireless access point to an electrical outlet with the included

power adapter.

Figure 3. Power adapter

• Method 2: Connect the wireless access point to a USB port on a nearby computer or

device with the USB power cable:

Figure 4. USB power cable

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 wireless

access point requires. In such cases, the power LED turns solid red and the wireless

access point may reset itself or turn itself off. If this happens, try connecting the USB

cable to a different device, or use the wireless access point power adapter instead.
