      As above, not much else to add! My Plusnet router (in UK) has a USB port; can I power the mini hub direct from this instead of plugging directly into the wall?

        @beelzebomb well as it's powered by USB, then any kind of USB supply should work, per definition.

          @Emil Thanks, that’s interesting - seeing as so many routers have a USB port, I don’t see much mention of this being an option for powering a flic hub.

              @sean-neylon The USB standard requires that a port can deliver at least 500 mA. The Flic Hub mini consumes far less current than that, so it should be fine.
