100 watts? Is that for real??



On powerline meters of the dish + router input AC power, yes that's correct, but that's also factoring any inefficiencies in the power supply.

The Power over Ethernet injector supplies 56V/1.6A 2x power (namely all 8 lines energized).

Output 1 is for the dish, output 2 is for the router.


It’s probably 95 watts of radio and 5 watts of compute. If we could see radio waves, that thing would look like a 95 watt spotlight.


It has a heater to melt snow.
