For USB power Connect the router to a powered USB port with a USB A to USB micro B
cable. Typically the USB ports on laptop computers can supply power to the router. When
connecting to a USB hub, verify the power specifications of the hub. See the topic
Specifications on page 5.

enough power for both the USB and the network connection.
To use the USB for power and network communications, see the topic Single-cable
connection on page 11.
