Looking for Orbi outdoor satellite power
Hi! Trying to find the watts or amps used by the RBS50Y Orbi outdoor satellite. Anybody know?

Its output is a 12v 2.5amp output.
so at max it uses 30 watts. That'd be at max. I doubt it uses that on average.

Great! So at 30 watts, it's around .25 amps draw from the outlet. I saw the regular satelite extender listsed at around 34 watts, but didn't know if this was the same.
Thank you.

It might be around that roughly at the wall because you're going to have a little loss due to efficiency at the power brick. I was just going with what its output is. So that input of 34watt might be about right. But I doubt it'll use that much. Most power supplies rarely use their peak output.
