RE: Again not a problem as the VBUS regulator can handle it...

Either way will work and yes the mRendu will handle it but less heat is better than more heat.

At 9v the mRendu is already drawing ~200mA and dissipating 1.8 watts which doesn't sound like a lot but the case gets quite warm. Pulling an additional 150mA off the +5V VBUS will add an additional .6 watts or 33% more heat. More heat that isn't necessary.

In any case, I am choosing to run the uLink off it's own external DC source, a source that I already own so it's not like an additional expense.
