The two head USB cable (typically for external 2.5&quot; hard drives) will work to power a device that is rated as 12 volts, 1000ma. I'm sure there are dangers in doing this as the device will be underpowered. I suspect radio range will suffer and you could potentially brick your router if you tried to write out nvram settings while underpowered -- if, for example, the laptop was operating off of battery and went into hibernate right when you tried to save. I'm sure there are other dangers. You have been warned. It's been working for a few hours now. In fact, I can even unplug one USB and the router stays on. - Ascott Feb 23rd 2010.</td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td><td>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; font-size: smaller;"></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td><td>+</td><td style="background: #cfc;
