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.

Timothy,

Power consumption is not relative to what you are doing from a usage standpoint.  It only relates to providing the necessary power to run the components of the modem.

It is stated in the specs for your modem.  (e.g. - the HN9000 power supply is rated at 46 watts.)  So I would suggest using that number (depending on your modem) for your calculations.
