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.

Thank you for your help. But if the signal from the satellite is amplified in the modem and the signal sent to the satellite is powered by the modem, then I would guess that when a signal is neither being sent or received there may be only a few watts being used by the modem. Is this true? If not, how is the extra power being used during idle times. Curtis-m below says he uses 9 watts most of the time on his HN 9000.
