Ah, there's the rub. The router is an old device, 10+ yo, and it
generates heat. !20 + degrees for the power brick and over 100 degrees
for the box. Its just something else that consumes energy directly and
indirectly with cooling costs. I have failed to find a new cable modem
with a built-in firewall. My cable modem is a comparatively new device
with newer power efficient technology and runs considerably cooler.
Essentially I'm trying to find the most energy efficient configuration
for my system.
