new router

[donkey42]

Since, donkey, you said specifically that your finances are very limited, maybe you would want to save on electricity bills? Hehe, I know from personal experience how utility bills always tend to take up more money than I expect...

yeah, util bills are something i don't tend to think about, but, as you mention it, i suppose a lower bill would be better

it does use more power

it may seem obvious and a router is usually physically smaller than a PC, although, physical size doesn't always determine the power requirements of something, but in this case it is actually true[ot]i tried searching wiki & google for typical power requirements of a home router & a PC, but, i didn't find anything[/ot]Edit: but i think generally the difference is probably:

• a home router uses mW
• a PC uses W
