Using my USB Port only as a Power Source

1

I have a peculiar problem of requiring usb port only for powering my wifi enabled USB powered Dongle. Hope you understand. I have some application that will work only in Wifi. But now when I connect it through wire to my laptop it uses the driver and connect to it as a wired connection. I do not want it to connect it wired but it should use only the wifi of the device. This is possible if only my port is considered to be only a power source and not an interface to the pC OS. Thanks in advance.

Google USB power only cable. There are cables specifically made that only have connections for the power wires and not the data wires.

Actually this is the preferred answer style on SU, it doesn't expire. Any links to shopping sites that I gave would be dead within months. This question also has more than one answer, I gave the one you liked the best, you found one you like more. that's life. =] – Tyson – 2015-02-17T15:23:26.633
