12v - 10 amp external switching power supply

runs great under ethernet but stalls on USB.

usb is very old type of connection, i propose to use a ethernet connection. why do you dont want to use LAN?

Because I sometimes want to use my laptop which doesn't have a ethernet connection...and...they advertise that it does work with USB!

I've subsequently learned that several others have tried 57cnc with USB and have failed as well.  If it isn't well supported then they should state so in their advertising.
