ROFL!
the asus hardly uses any battery
if you want to save energy, just disable the wireless:p
the processor is already very green, it's hard to shave more of without losing cpu power:rolleyes:

it IS possible to lower power consumption. I've managed to get it to spend as low as 1.2W
And I know I can get it to use even less power...
Think F1 engineering.... :cool:

so you buy a multifunctional router to lower the power consumtion?
so you cant use any of the multifunctional things properly without too mutch waiting?:p
sounds crazy to me...
my wl-500w is using 15W max, and I think that's low enough;)
Hi,
wpte, I think fluke is using his asus router for a robot, or data-logger-application in a mobile application where no mains-power is available, or remember the post where someone wanted to use the asus as a 'brain' for his robot. like he stated, he is running the asus from a battery, so in this scenario you would want to save as much power as possible.
I know what you mean, 15 watts of power is very 'green', but having experience with mobile-car-computing I can relate to the fact that one-wants-to-save-power..
(like my carputer now uses 65watts in heavy load, and I can't make it preserver more power)
Fluke,
this thought might be completely insane, but remove the statusleds for air/lan ? I know leds do absolutely not use much power, but if you only use 1.2 watts, then I think you should save some by removing the leds (except the power led... :D )
EDIT:
just read your update on your other post.. you have already removed the leds..... my bad
exactly, I'm using it in a remote location for data logging (sensors)...
in fact, the router is so powerful we could use it for almost anything.. ;)
At first I removed ALL the leds and unplugged any cable I didn't need.
Each ethernet cable adds about 50mA.
FYI, a thumb drive uses about 100mA...

just another thought.
if you don't use the wireless, get the mini pci wlan card out.
even though it's disabled it still might take some current.
(although I don't know if this mini pci card is a vital part of the design and has to be present at all times.)

I'm using both a wl520gu and a wl500gpv2. Neither has a mini-pci card....

whoops.... my bad..... didn't know that..
Well... otoh... if it doesn't have one, it doesn't use any power/current :D
