3 routers? Why? American style fridge-freezers are notoriously inefficient. When I worked in kitchens we'd try to put people off them most times. A side by side full-size European fridge and freezer is far better, more efficient and fits in our kitchens. The ones who got American style fridge-freezers were the ones for whom money was no concern. And bare in mind this was an upmarket kitchen place earth average overall cost between 20-30k per kitchen.

> 3 routers? Why? One provided by Virgin that contains the cable modem and I have to use. I put it in modem mode though because its WiFi is crap. One main WiFi router. One extra one we have in our garden room (main WiFi doesn't reach that far). > American style fridge-freezers are notoriously inefficient. Yeah, though the specs for it claim 70 W average. I guess that may be optimistic so call it 100 W. That is quite a bit tbf. I don't know why getting two separate appliances would be more efficient?

  Ah ok.. not three routers then, but three pieces of network equipment. I have a similar set up (well, I have more like 10 things on including switches and NAS). I was speaking to a colleague the other day and he was saying how his network is annoying and it turned out he actually was using two routers. That second wireless AP should be just an access point, not a router (some have two modes). Two separate appliances really was more efficient. The European models were vastly more efficient than the American ones (European ones were like A+ rating; American were like F with not much in between). I think the American style ones are a bit better now, though (they're probably European specific models).

    I mean... it's just American style. It's actually made by Samsung and is A rated. (I didn't buy it.)
