Setting up Starlink

I don't have numbers for just the starlink stuff since I have other things plugged in to my UPS, but that sounds about right. The power brick is always warm to the touch.

My other ISP also uses PoE to power a wireless dish (line of sight) and uses a little less power but not a ton less.

the power consumed for a WISP PtMP last mile CPE radio is considerably less than starlink. Typical CPE for a ubiquiti, cambium or similar antenna will be 8-12W at the AC wall power side of the PoE injector. Starlink is more like 100W constant.

I see report of 5-10w on ubiquiti gear.
