Many friends have a 'fault' after using household appliances - they don't completely turn off the electric appliances, such as watching TV, turning off the remote control. These operations often lead to an increase in electricity bills. During this time, the author When browsing information on various websites, it was found that many netizens were full of interest in home routers in terms of power consumption. So, today I brought this article.
Admittedly, as a basic electronic product for modern family life, the router basically works 7 x 24 hours, and it is rare that the router is turned off (unless the router is broken or the router is going to be repaired). Then, as a powered product, the router Does it consume electricity, and how much electricity is charged each month?
Below, we count the books together.
In general, The power of the router is about 3-7W, how much more, you need to look at the product information.
Below, I will use D-Link's DIR-816 as an example to figure out how much power this router can consume.
From the product information, we can see that the router's voltage is 5V, the current is 0.5A, so the power is 5V × 0.5A, 2.5W. Therefore, the power consumption per day is 24h×2.5W, which is equal to 60wh (60 watt hours). Therefore, the power consumption per month is 1800 watt-hours, which is 1.8 kWh. Therefore, D-Link's router consumes about power. The amount is about 1.8 degrees.
As for how much money, according to the difference between domestic electricity and industrial electricity, multiplied by the price.
After some calculations, we found that this router is not very power-consuming, 1.8 degrees, according to electricity consumption, A month or so is basically about 1 block. In general, the power of the router is 3-7W. After calculation, the power consumption per month is between 1.2 yuan and 2.8 yuan..
From this, The router is not very power-consuming, but it does not mean that it can be turned on 7×24 hours. Under normal circumstances, we need to pay attention to, in the following cases, it is best to turn off the router.
1, routers work long hours, parts are damaged, shorten the life
2, in case of thunder, close
3, properly closed to prevent network channel congestion
