Ray,
You mean the problem is the MN-710 adapter not the MN-700
base station, right?
As for the power problem. Did you check your USB ports?
I'd take a DVM (or VOM) and check the voltages. It turns
out the power output from USB ports can show variations
from manufacturer to manufacturer. It may not be the MN-
710's fault. You could return it, buy a new USB Wifi
adapter and it won't work either, because the problem is
your USB ports.
"It doesn't work" is a symptom that's hard to diagnose.
You mean the MN-710 is powered-up and you cannot connect
to the MN-700 base station? Can you see other WiFis when
you do a network search with the Broadband Utility tool,
but you can't find your MN-700? Is there other sources of
intereference...cordless phone; wireless game controller;
microwave oven? All these can generate 2.4 GHz radiation.
