Average modem power consumption in watts?
I'm off grid and I need to know the average modem power consumption in watts when not doing much uploading or any gaming at all.
- Good morning,
The engineer pointed me to this page in the Jupiter install guide on pg 15, http://customer.kb.hughesnet.com/Documents/1039649-0001_c.pdf the rated power consumption of the HT1100 is 46W. That's all the info we have as far as power usage.

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
