First of all – about the budget.In general, depending on the router model, power consumption can range from 6 to 15 W/h. So, for an iXBT.com user, the router consumes 12 W/h. It turns out that if it works around the clock, then 0.28 kW/day will come out per day, and this is at a price of 1 kW = 3.5 rubles. will be equal to 0.98 rubles. per day. Accordingly, for a year you will have to pay 352.8 rubles for the router to work 24/7. It’s not a lot of money, so even if you turn off the router all night, it’s unlikely to save you much.
