No wifi hotspot is using 110 watts.
110 watts is a fair amount of power - at $0.20/kWh you're going to add $16 to your power bill monthly.
It's similar to leaving a desktop computer on 24/7.

Of course a gaming computer uses more than 100w. Of course a crypto rig uses more than 100w. And that's not "basic computer use", it's the most power-hungry computer use.
Meanwhile, my UniFi UAP-AC-Pro APs are powered via PoE and are using <4w.

The power supply for an R8500 gives 19V / 3.16 A DC maximum.
And yes, a gaming PC can use a few hundred watts---that's why it has to have all of the thermal management and all of the hot air blowing out of it.
