Comment on Mini PC to replace fiber modem and wifi router. How to proceed?
hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 1 day agoMaybe correct? Though my cable modem gobbles down some 15W… Without even doing the Wifi… So, I bet this isn’t a universal truth, as a Mini-PC will do less.

Wow, that’s a power hungry modem… But, look into the power usage of those sfp modules. They can be ~10w on their own.

Yeah, they often get quite warm. Some day I’ll be in the same situation as OP. And I can’t wait to throw out that supid modem. No clue, though what kind of SFP the fiber provider requires. I mean there’s quite a selection available…
