Wondered how long you could run your BGW210 on an external battery backup power supply?  The answer is quite a long time--it draws only12 Watts while on and transmitting wi-fi.

 

I measured this draw at the 110V input to its EPS36R0-16 adapter supply (which is rated much higher at about 36 Watts).

 

The measurement was made using the power meter built into my Generac GB1000  uninterruptible power supply. 

 

FYI--When the BGW210 is also producing the dialtone on a connected landline, it draws one additional Watt.

 

 

 

 

Sounds about right. These devices don’t really start drawing much power unless you’re really putting them under load or doing something that needs to utilize the cpu for higher processing

The BGW210 modem is not supported as Arris supports only the retail products that are available on surfboard.com but not the ISP lease products. 

Please contact your ISP for the same
