I use Mi WiFi Range Extender AC1200 (on AP mode), which consumes 0.3 A (the label only list the ampere instead of watt). I live on 220V AC country, so:

- 220V * 0.3A = 66W

- google "how many hour in a month" = 730 hours

- 66 W / 1000 W * 730 hours = 48.18 kWh / month

I am a bit skeptical about the power that this router use, should be just using around 7W instead of 66W, I am thinking of buying a power meter to get the real power usage. and will change my router if this router really consumes too much electricity
