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.

My very simple and stupid 1GE SFP/ethernet fiber media converter, uses 4.3W when idling.

Random curiosity: what do various SFP+ interfaces (notably gpon) eat?
has anyone got a gpon interface for the omnia yet? I *hate* the need
for ONTs.

These can easily be 1-2 Watts. I put in a 1GE SFP into the before mentioned Broadcom HGW and power usage went up from 9.4W to 10.2W. So if it's a GPON or similar then I'd imagine it's substantially more considering that it's quite a lot more things a GPON device needs to do.
