It draws a lot of current. One suggestion, is not to use it with a long USB extension cord. Another possibility, is to use a self powered USB2 hub with its own +5V power supply. Or use any other means at your disposal, to ensure it is getting enough power. http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthre...-of-pain/page6 Apparently, if the signal it is receiving is weak, it'll increase transmit power, and that makes it get hot, draw more current and so on. Make sure you're in a location with good receive signal level, so the device doesn't have to crank its transmitter power level. Paul |
