It is "powered" through the USB port, so expect it to provide only as much power downstream as it receives. In particular, it may not power multiple of those portable hard drives that get power through USB, but it probably will power a single one, depending on how much power it receives from the port it is plugged in.

No, mine did not come with power supply. You have to buy one to be able to work. They need to clarify this in the description.

Power source only. You use a wired connection to set it up, then it is wireless.

That's crap, they don't say anywhere that it has a plug. I thought it was usb-powered.

Steven it is USB powered but comes with a second USB cable to provide extra power if required. In my experience it seems to be needed. Regards John Docherty.

The device has its own power cord. I do not think it is designed to draw power from USB but only to power the USBs in the device itself. Thus the power cord.

I'm 90% certain that the dongle has no internal power source, so it requires a powered port.

I am not sure how it works? It looks like to me it has to be hooked into a power source somehow. I could use some help here as well.How do you hook it up?

Make sure the input and output are correct. If it still doesn't work then it's the power source. Try a different outlet.

The power source is 120 VAC. There is no provision on the device for powering it with DC/Battery.

No my friend, it is no battery powered, you need to connect it to electricity.

It is not powered, it is a passive antenna. Just plug it in and position it where you get the best reception for your application. Good luck

The only power source I found on the one I bought (and subsequently returned) was AA batteries. I could never get mine to work, so it went back to the provider.
