Can I charge my WiFiBOX using a computer's USB port?


In some cases, you may be able to charge your WiFiBOX using a computer's USB port. However, we generally do not recommend it.


Some computer USB ports are not designed primarily for charging, so they may not provide a stable power supply.
Depending on compatibility between the computer and your WiFiBOX, the device may also fail to charge properly.

Important information

Charging issues caused by compatibility with a computer's USB port are not covered by our support.
Idea
For more reliable charging, we recommend using a standard wall charger.
