| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NETGEAR R6220 | 18W | 18W | Safe | ~49.0h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 18W continuous. **Surge:** 18W (no inrush spike). **Voltage:** requires 120V AC. Most portable power stations provide 120V AC outlets and can handle this steady-state load. Field note: Verify your power station's inverter can sustain 18W for extended periods without entering sleep mode. Some units disable AC output below 20W. Will this router maintain emergency connectivity during a 48-hour outage? Only if your power source can supply at least 18W continuous and 18W surge at 120V. It depends on your power station's usable capacity. | |||||
| NETGEAR R6700v3 | 30W | 30W | Safe | ~29.4h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 30 W. **Surge:** 30 W. **Voltage:** 120 V AC. No surge above steady state. Compatible with any 120 V AC inverter output rated 30 W or higher. Field note: Ensure power station inverter remains enabled continuously. Router uptime depends on uninterrupted AC supply. Can I run this router on a 500 Wh power station for a full day? Only if your power source can supply at least 30W continuous and 30W surge at 120V. Only if the power station supplies at least 720 Wh of usable AC capacity and you do not load other devices simultaneously. | |||||
| NETGEAR R7000 | 42W | 42W | Safe | ~21.0h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 42 W. **Surge:** 42 W (no inrush). Requires 120V AC. Most portable power stations rated 120V 60Hz and ≥100W continuous output can supply this load, provided the waveform is compatible with the internal SMPS. Field note: Verify the power station's continuous output rating exceeds 42 W with margin. Some consumer units throttle under sustained load. Can I run this router on a 500 Wh power station for a full day? Only if your power source can supply at least 42W continuous and 42W surge at 120V. Only if you recharge partway through or reduce usage hours. 24-hour operation consumes 1008 Wh, exceeding a 500 Wh capacity. | |||||
| Starlink Router (Gen 3) | 75W | 75W | Safe | ~11.8h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 75 W (estimated). **Surge:** 75 W (no inrush). **Voltage:** 120 V AC required. The 300W PSU rating covers maximum input capacity, not typical draw. Actual router consumption is a fraction of the PSU rating. Field note: Do not confuse the PSU input rating (300W) with actual consumption. The router draws far less. If powering the full Starlink system (dish + router), see the Starlink System device instead. Does the Starlink router really draw 300W? No. The 300W figure is the power supply's maximum input rating, not actual consumption. The router itself draws approximately 50-75W. The dish (terminal) has its own power path. | |||||

Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 50 W (estimated). **Surge:** 50 W (no inrush). Requires 120V AC. The 192W PSU rating is maximum input capacity, not typical draw. Field note: The 192W figure on the spec sheet is the PSU max rating, not actual router consumption. If powering the full Starlink system (dish + router), see the Starlink System device. Does this router really draw 192W? No. The 192W is the power supply's maximum input rating. Actual router consumption is approximately 40-50W. | |||||
| Starlink Router Mini | 40W | 40W | Safe | ~22.1h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 40 W (estimated). **Surge:** 40 W (no inrush spike). **Voltage:** 120 V AC required. Compact mesh router with lower processing overhead than the Gen 3. Field note: The 192W on the spec sheet is the PSU max rating. Starlink Mini ships with a USB-C power supply — verify AC adapter spec if using inverter output instead of native DC. Does the Mini router really draw 192W? No. The 192W is the power supply's maximum input rating. The Mini router draws approximately 30-40W. For the full Starlink Mini system (dish + router), see the Starlink System device. | |||||

The 3300W surge capacity can handle typical startup demands from refrigerators, well pumps, and other motor-driven appliances that require brief inrush current. The 1800W continuous rating supports sustained loads like power tools, kitchen appliances, and electronics. Understand that this is a legacy unit no longer in active production.
This legacy model uses NMC lithium chemistry in a 1260Wh battery pack. The manufacturer documentation outlines operational guidelines and user precautions for safe charging and discharging cycles.

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Running load: 18-75 W depending on model. Surge: same as running (no inrush). Requires 120 V AC. WiFi routers are constant-draw electronic devices with no motor or compressor.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~11.8h. Operates 24 hours/day at steady draw. Daily energy ranges from 432 Wh (basic router) to 1800 Wh (high-end mesh). No cycling or transient events.
Field Note
Some power stations disable AC output below 20-25W (eco mode). Verify your station can sustain low-wattage loads continuously. For Starlink routers, do not confuse the PSU max input rating with actual consumption.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the EcoFlow DELTA (Gen 1) power a WiFi Router?
Yes. The EcoFlow DELTA (Gen 1) provides 1800W running / 3300W surge. The WiFi Router needs 87W / 87W (including 15% buffer). That leaves 1713W of running headroom and 3213W of surge margin.
How long will the DELTA (Gen 1) run a WiFi Router?
Approximately 11.8 hours, based on the WiFi Router's 75W draw and the DELTA (Gen 1)'s 1260Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
What Else Can You Run?
With 465W allocated to the WiFi Router, the DELTA (Gen 1) still has ~900W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
