We recommend always using a power adapter plugged directly into a wall outlet. USB ports on some devices (e.g., on laptops or power banks) may not supply enough power, which can cause the router to malfunction.
If you choose to use a non-standard power supply, ensure it can provide sufficient power based on the device's requirements. However, note that using an unstable or insufficient power input may lead to malfunctions.
Power Requirements for KeepYourHomeIP Routers
- Economy Light: 5V/2A. Can be powered by any laptop or power bank.
- Business: 5V/3A. The USB port on a computer or a high-quality power bank should provide enough power. It is recommended to use the original power cable.
Please ensure your power adapter is rated for at least 5V/2A or 5V/3A, depending on the router model.
