Hi All! I've been discussing possibility of using USB port on 2011/951 series to power up a modem like TP-link 8816 which uses 5v power supply using a cable like this: http://miniimg2.rightinthebox.com/images/384x384/201403/ljhnpo1394624693508. jpg I checked with MT engineering team, and received promising response: "The minimum output current both models can provide is 500mA. RB951Ui-2HnD and RB2011 with wireless should be able to supply even up to 1A of output current. RB2011 without wireless should be able provide up to 2A output current. Only note that we guarantee the minimum output current" So TP-Link ships with a 5v/1A power supply and so assuming that the device actually consumes 'up to 1A' then perhaps routerBoards able to supply 'up to 1A' might actually work as a pair. Although I'm thinking that the power consumption will increase as packet throughput increases on both, then perhaps as the transfer load ramps up, power available to the modem may be constrained, and so might cause trouble under load. So I find myself wondering whether someone else may have already been own this path and so if you have, and are willing to share your observations, I'm most curious as to how it turned out! :-) Cheers! Mike.
