That depends on your router.

The current draw of a router (or any other electrical device) can be calculated by:

Amps * Volts = Watts

If you know any two, you can calculate the third.

If (for example) the router draws 750 Watts, and you know that it plugs into 120 Volts, then you can plug into the formula

Amps *120 Volts = 750 Wats

OR

Amps = 750 Watts/120 Volts

OR

Amps = 6.25

If you would like the answer in volts it would then be about:

120

A typical router used for home internet connections consumes around 0.5 to 2 amps of electricity. It is important to check the specifications of your specific router model to get an accurate reading of its power consumption.
