Soooo,useing 12 volt adapter on a 5 volt hub is ok?? Just asking,don't want to fry anything  Wink

Trying to find 5 volt adapters is a real pain,ALL search engines throw 12/9/7.5 volt & any other volt in there,crazy  Roll Eyes

It will fry your hub and, possibly, your Erupters.

I figured I'd ask  Roll Eyes  Kinda thunk it  Wink

Any hints to a 5 volt either 3amp or 4 amp adapters with the 5.5mm barrel connector??

I've been through the thread & most would require cutting & soldering or opening the USB hub,I just want to upgrade the adapter(wall wart or laptop style)  Wink

Unless this:
