Okay, I missed this post earlier, but you got my curiosity going. I found this post on a different forum and post it here for other people who might encounter this. I've never hit it but glad to have the information:

For those curious, I dropped a USB power meter in-line with these routers. Stock config, running WPA2 on the clients, using as a wireless repeater/AP with WAP2 as well, no VPNs turned on, good signal strength on connected AP:
GL-MT300N-V2 (Mango) : 120mA-320mA. Extremely variable. I'd call it about 180mA average.
GL-AR750S-EXT (Slate): 211mA-580ma. Also quite variable. I'd say 400mA average. (Usually 360-425mA average).

As i mentioned on a different thread, my Pixel 3 XL works as a travel router. First in Kigali and most recently on a cruise. I have not tried it on a plane.
