Thank you. Do you mean that the original power supply is not sufficient for a continuous use w/o the battery ? Will a Quick Charge 3.0 be OK ? It seems to be the new standard and 2.0 have disappeared from the usual resellers ...

original one can be used as long as you have the battery installed but if you are going to have MR1100 used for a long period, such as 24/7, then you'd better to remove the battery (heat dissipation and battery life concern) and have it powered with QC3.0 power source, yes, QC3.0 is just fine.

Many thanks William for your advices. Just ordered it on Amazon ... I think it will be much better that my very weak ADSL connection (I live in a small village in the French Alps with poor old copper wiring but a brand new 4G repeater nearby).

  if you are having signal reception problem for your MR1100, check on this MIMO antenna, https://www.amazon.com/Netgear-6000450-MIMO-Antenna-Connectors/dp/B00DN3J03O?crid=25BYAVYBTE8Q0&keywords=netgear+mimo+antenna&qid=1540810246&sprefix=netgear+mimo%2Caps%2C344&sr=8-2&ref=sr_1_2, myself and one of my friends all stay with this antenna, compared to the other products, this one works very well for us.

    I've seen that antenna on Amazon. The 4G repeater is in direct view of my house, at 2,5 mi. w/o obstacle. If it doesn't work well enough, I will definitively consider it preferably to any other that don't always seem reliable, according to Amazon reviews. Thank you very much for your advices which are helpful.
