Extend Battery Life
The mobile router, by default, is configured to optimize battery life. If your mobile router
is plugged in for an extended period of time, the mobile router automatically reduces
charging levels to help protect battery life.
The following factors affect battery life:
•
Standby time
•
Data throughput
•
Mobile broadband signal strength (the better the signal, the longer the battery life)
•
WiFi range
•
Dual-band WiFi (when all of your devices support 5 GHz WiFi, dual-band WiFi allows
faster downloads but uses more power)
•
Usage of a USB storage device
To extend the battery life, use any of the following methods:
•
Adjust WiFi settings.
•
Adjust display settings.
•
Remove the USB storage device.
Use the Mobile Router Without a Battery
If you connect your mobile router to a power adapter that supports Quick Charge 2.0
or 3.0, you can remove the battery. We recommend operating without the battery in
applications where the mobile router is used for extended periods, such as using the
mobile router as a fixed router.
Recharge the Battery
The battery comes partially charged. You can recharge the battery from a wall socket
or from the USB port on your computer. Recharging from a wall socket is faster than
recharging from a USB port.
Turn off USB tethering if you only want to charge your mobile router with your computer.
For more information, see Turn Off USB Tethering on page 45.
