Average modem power consumption in watts?

Good morning Timothy,

Welcome and thanks for posting. I'm getting that info for you since I don't know it off hand; it's a good question, no one's ever asked!  

After a quick search online, I found that routers and modems may consume 2 to 20 watts, with 6 watts being average, according to this site: http://energyusecalculator.com/electricity_wifirouter.htm

Once I hear back from the engineer I asked, I'll let you know, but for now, those numbers above could give you a ballpark figure.

Thanks,
Liz
