USB access point was originally powered by a 5V DC wall adapter. You can purchase additional wall and car adapters online for ~$20.

Simple modification allowed me to plug into any USB port for power. Allowing me to use any of my existing USB wall and car adapters. I removed the old DC barrel jack and soldered in a new jack that matches a USB to DC power cable I purchased.

Can purchase the DC jack to USB cable here: SparkFun Item 8639
