Hello!!

I’ve recently bought a GL-AXT1800 (Slate AX), it will arrive in a few days. I’m fairly new with these products, I’m afraid that this will not be the last question…

For space reasons, I would like to power the router using the USB-C port from a power strip with a USB port /2.4 A.

Could it be possible?

Thank you very much!! 😀😀

If you’re not plugging other things into the USB port on the Slate then you should be fine. Power usage is about 5W in normal conditions.

I will not plug in anything, so for me it’s okay.

It should be pretty safe for 2.4A, as long as the power strip output is as advertised.

> [@Slate AX requirement for 4A adapter](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/slate-ax-requirement-for-4a-adapter/21110/12):

> Usage with Adguard Home + Wireguard server. It hovers around 1A, max 1.2A and lowest 0.9A. 2A is enough for just the router.
