My Netgear R8500 was 50 watts easily I'd say. My friends gaming computer DEFINATELY uses more than 100W. Basic computer use for cryptomining seems to use a lot more as well. It just doesn't seem like 100W for what this thing does is a ton.
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.
