NightHawk MR6450

Hi,

Bought this 5G router for WIFi in a Tesla MYP23. It cannot seem to run at all without the battery, even if it is plugged into a wallsocket. Just keeps telling me to use the original power adapter or put in the battery.

 

It cannot run on the Tesla MYP usb-c either. It boots up in a lengthy proces, just to restart because it lacks power again 😉 Horrible.

 

Are there any recommendations in terms of this?

 

Br,

Kragster

  • Probably a better power supply? 

    I've got the MR6150 and have run it with aftermarket power supplies and cables. 

    You also have to ensure the cable is high quality too.

      I bought a Quick Charge cigarette adapter that can deliver 5v 3A and I will test with that.

      It doesn’t really change the fact that the product cannot seem to run without battery despite the fact that I am using the original adapter and cable in a 230v socket.

        Yes 🙂 with the original cable and 230v adapter.

      Have been in touch with support. They think it could be the USB cable 😉

        a sketchy cable can cause issues. 

        I was trying to find the power supplies requirements and didn't find an official one. I know I've powered mine with a 30w supply and 100w cable without issues.
