Hey guys,

A very simple question, Is it possible to pull power from USB port (2.0) of laptop & power on Airtel/BSNL Modem ?

Reqirement is simple - There is no UPS & one needs modem to work incase of power cut. Laptop has 2 USB ports & gives 2 hours of battery backup. if I am not wrong Modem will work on around 9V of power.

Will it be possible to make modem work by taking power supply from USB ports of laptop ? if Yes, HOW :) ??

^ I've actually used my Beetel 220BXI modem with my Telephone's 6V adapter. :D

But the question is, where can you find a cable whose one end can be connected to your modem's power supply and the 2nd to the USB port. Extremely difficult to find.
