What is the power consumption of the Brick vs. the Router?
While both are designed to be efficient, the Wi-Fi Router generally consumes more power than the USB-C Brick.
USB-C Brick:
- Typical: ~3W
- Max: ~6W
Wi-Fi Router:
- Typical: ~6W
- Max: ~9W
On average, the Wi-Fi Router draws about 3W more than the USB-C Brick, due to continuous wireless transmission. If maximizing battery life is a priority, especially during long sessions, the wired USB-C connection is the more power-efficient option.
