My ar71xx/ath9 hw - like nanostations - was below 2w. wndr3800 don't remember, I think the the ethernet switch added quite a bit. But 8Ws? not even close to that. A modern LED lightbulb eats that and sheds quite a lot of light. Random curiosity: what do various SFP+ interfaces (notably gpon) eat? has anyone got a gpon interface for the omnia yet?

I fully expect my wndr3800s to see service for another 10 years.
