Hi all

New here, not sure if anyone will know the answer but but I've got a question about the power requirements of my new TL-WR902AC.

Just some initial points:

• The router is supplied with a 5V / 2A USB power supply.
• The bottom of the router states its power requirements as being 5V/2A
• The router has a full size USB socket that is advertised as being able to provide 5V/2A to external devices

However, I was able to plug the routers USB power cable into a USB 1.1 socket on my Playstation 2 instead and it powered up.

It even powered a 1TB WD My Passport Ultra USB HDD that I had connected to the routers USB slot.

I beleive the USB socket on a PS2 is limited to about 550mA

Therefore, I am wondering if the router itself actually requires the 5V/2A from its power supply to operate as a router or if this power requirement/adapter is just to allow it to provide the advertised 5V/2A to external devices via its USB socket.

Not sure if that makes any sense but would anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks
