WAP 11 Power Consumption?

[Joseph R. Skoler]

I can't answer your question, but an intrigued by the idea.

I'd like to hear your plans and how they turn out.

Also, how are you setting up a repeater?

Thanks,

Subject: WAP 11 Power Consumption?

G'Day

I have an application where I need to run a couple of LinkSys WAP-11's
back to back as a repeater, and would prefer not to have to run power
cable. Solar is an option, but I do not know how much power the WAP-11's
really draw... Has anyone done any measurements on these units working
out how much they use in the wild. Any help would be appreciated. The
Linksys WWW site says 2A 5V, but this seems somewhat high... 

BTW, if I have to use power it will be from hydro, making my whole
solution using alternate energy no matter what I finally do...
