After I started using Netgear USB MA101 adapter with MR814, MA101 pc roboot by itself, it just suddenly reboot, like blackout, then start POST again a couple of times every night. When I connect Lan with Cat5 cable, I don’t have this problem, only USB adapter gave me roboot. Any reason?

My thought is the power supply, and the MA101 get the power from pc, not direct to a transformer and to power outlet. What do you think?

What OS are you running? Could be a driver issue especially if your running XP. Try to find an update driver, also go into the Advanced System Properties, under startup and recovery uncheck the "Automatically restart" checkbox. Then maybe check your power supply. If it's 200W or less, look into upgrading it to at LEAST 300W.
