Comment on Ask HN: How much electricity does a WiFi router consume?

Comments

Rule of thumb: if it gets hot it burns power. More hot, more power.

Be more judicious with electric kettles, immersion heaters, electric ovens, lower washing machine temps, outside air drying over electric dryer, LED bulbs.

The other factors are too small to worry about.
