Solution

  • Remove the original power adapter (JP4P2-9V4-6F). The technical specifications are 120VAC, 60Hz with an output is 9VDC at 400mA. The defective unit may have an output of 12.75VDC. The Maxstream 9XTend wireless modem will power accordingly; however, the circuitry inside is in an overload state.
  • The new power adapter ( JRSP2-9V11-6F Rev A) is 100 -120VAC, 47-63Hz with an output of 9VDC at 0.5Amp, will fix this problem.
