Capacity steps, on the same load

Nominal capacity × depth of discharge × inverter efficiency ÷ sourced average draw.

These are comparison projections, not a promise. Temperature, inverter behavior, cycling, and the individual station's measured delivered capacity can change real runtime.

Questions, answered from the same inputs

How Many Watts Does a Wi-Fi Router Use?
Yes. 63 stations in the current sourced catalog pass the capacity, inverter, and startup checks for the default runtime.
What power figure matters most for a Wi-Fi router?
The sourced running draw determines both inverter fit and battery runtime. No separate real-watt startup figure is available from the cited source.
