Fortunately, routers don't consume a lot of power. Wireless routers use the most, particularly those newer models with multiple Wi-Fi antennas, because these radios need a certain level of power to stay connected. The Linksys WRT610 (see right), for example, utilizes two radios for dual-band wireless support, yet it draws just 18 watts of power.
Assuming you leave the WRT610 running in dual-band mode 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, it will result in 3 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per week added to your electric bill. Costs vary depending where you live, but typically the WRT610 and similar wireless routers cost no more than $1-$2 (USD) per month to run.
he is talking about a high end router. 2-3 units per week would mean 10-15 units per month. at 10 rupees per unit i guess it comes to 100-150 rupees. assumptions really. should be cheaper for most of us.
right. CRTs and even LCD panels are probably the components that consume the maximum power in the entire setup. if you really want a cost effective solution, consider investing in a router with internal torrent client.
