How to Extend Your Dongle’s Life

Handle your dongle gently — never force it into a port, and always pull it out by the body. Supporting the device itself during insertion or removal reduces stress on the port. Clean it periodically using a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and debris that lead to unstable connections.

Keep it protected when idle. A padded storage pouch reduces risk of physical impact. Never leave it in extreme heat, and avoid humid spaces. Exposing it to moisture can shorten component lifespan.

When using an external power source, use only the approved adapter. Incorrect voltage can fry internal circuits. Refer to the spec sheet before plugging in any power source.

Install the latest software patches — manufacturers frequently release performance enhancements that prevent unnecessary wear. Subscribe to manufacturer alerts to download patches.

Minimize frequent plugging and unplugging, as each cycle contributes to connector fatigue. When the dongle is used often, consider maintaining a permanent link while the host device is active — if space allows without interference.

Ensure port integrity. Loose or dirty ports can force the dongle to work harder. Restore contact points using a soft brush.

Don’t use couplers unless truly unavoidable. These can introduce power fluctuations that trigger premature failure. For optimal longevity, use the device’s original port.

Following these proven practices, you can significantly delay replacement needs, and اکتیو دانگل save money on new hardware.
