How to increase the power limit on USB ports

Hello, I have noticed that when I have 2 things plugged in to the front port of my Fractal Design Meshify C, it occasionally disconnects everything connected via USB for a few seconds, then reconnects. Previous posts on this forum have informed me that there is a limit on how much power a pair of USB ports can draw. The motherboard is a MSI B550 Tomahawk. Any help is appreciated

The wireless receiver will draw basically nothing but if the charger (what charger? for what?) tries to draw too much there's no other solution than to not connect it there.

You probably can't, the power limits on ports are usually dictated by hardware. There are no settings you can change that will make the wires thicker

The charger is the charger for the headset(it is for the Corsair HS70 Pro, same thing the reciever was for)

Front ports share 1 connection for all so power is split. Either plug in the cable to the back or into a regular phone charger or the likes.
