Does the home router consume electricity if it is not turned off all the time? Many friends have a "problem" after using the home appliances - they don't turn off the appliances completely, such as watching TV, just turn off the remote control. Often these operations lead to an increase in electricity bills. During this period of time, I found that many netizens are full of interest in whether the home router consumes electricity or not when browsing information on various websites. Therefore, today I bring this article.
It's true that as the basic electronic product of modern family life, routers basically work 7-times; 24 hours a day, and it's rare for routers to be shut down (unless the router breaks down or needs to be repaired). So, as a powered product, does the router consume electricity? How much is the electricity charge per month? Let's work out the accounts together.
Generally, the power of the router is about 3-7w. The specific power depends on the product information. Next, I will take a dir-816 of D-Link as an example to calculate how much power this router can consume.
From the product information, we can see that the router's voltage is 5V and current is 0.5A, so the power is 5V & times; 0.5A, 2.5W. Therefore, the daily power consumption is 24h & times; 2.5W, which is equal to 60wh (60wh), so the monthly power consumption is 1800wh, that is, 1.8kwh. So the D-Link router consumes about 1.8 degrees of power. As for how much it costs, multiply by the price according to the difference between domestic and industrial power consumption.
After some calculation, we found that this router is not very power-efficient, 1.8 degrees, according to the living electricity, a month is basically about one piece. In general, the router's power is 3-7w, and the monthly power consumption is between 1.2 yuan and 2.8 yuan.
From this point of view, the router is not very power consuming, but it does not mean that it can be powered on in 7 & times; 24 hours. Normally, we need to shut down the router every three or five times.
1. Router works for a long time, parts are damaged and service life is shortened
2. In case of thunder, close
3. Proper closure can prevent network channel congestion
