Reviving this old topic. Sorry for the dumb question, but In case I decide to go with Sonoff dongles as repeaters, do I only need to power them through an USB-A port (like a wall charger) or do I need to have them connected to an actual USB port in some computer?

You use any USB-charger just to power the Zigbee Router device (not a computer), see:
