Some older ones might be better. You don't need much range or bandwidth on the boat, so you might find 11g to be more energy efficient. Unless the AP is using sophisticated power management and gears down to maintain the lowest required level of signal (some of the better 11ac). Regardless, you want one where the transmit power can be adjusted to conserve the energy. That wrt54gl can be loaded with an open firmware, which offers plenty of options. It uses about 5-6 W (~0.5 A); an interesting feature is that it can easily run on from 5 V to (supposedly) 40 V DC. This means that it can easily run off the batteries, even if the voltage fluctuates.

I'll have to see what router is most energy efficient. Graham Collins Secret Plans C&C 35-III #11 On 2015-10-28 5:48 PM, Kevin Driscoll via CnC-List wrote: Most wifi routers are 12v. Just cut off the 110v power brick. Did this on our router/boat. Works the same.
