Hub 4 / 5 photos?


[link to this post]
 
Can anyone with a Hub 4 and Hub 5 sent me a photo ([email protected]) of the label on the bottom/side of their router and the power supply - I'm looking for details on the voltage/amperage/polarity, etc.

Hi Sean/Gary,

Just another thank you.. this is why I was asking :
https://www.thinkbroadband.com/guides/how-to-stay-on...

VM seems to be more power hungry than others.. quite by how much I don't know but if anyone measures DC current in actual use with this solution I'd be interested to know smile

I have a UPS for my PC but I do not use it for the HUB..

When I do plug the hubs power adapter in either the power adaptor or my USP makes a horrid sound (I cant remember which)

I might try it again when I am off next week.

But If we do get power cuts here then I can just use my UPS to power my hub and not my PC. It will only run my PC for a few mins, The hub tho should last a good hour or two.

So the traditional UPS won't power low power devices very long in my experience so I'd be careful assuming that.. some of the runtime charts I have seen suggests about an hour even at 1% load on some.. YMMV of course.

Yes, it definitely makes a lot more sense to keep everything as very low voltage DC rather than doing DC to AC and back to DC

Hey - I went live today on gig with virgin.

Is a tuya app output helpful? Think it shows wattage voltage etc.
