What is the maximum daily power consumption for these routers?
I am using them in a wifi application where every bit of power is important.
I am thinking of taking advantage of the WG3526-P's POE to power some POE cameras.

Manufacturers specs are almost never accurate.
I'd recommend getting one of these if you need to know the exact amount of power usage: https://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electri ... 8073&psc=1

Re: Power Consumption for WG3526-P and WE826
That is a hard question to answer and will depend on several variables such as modem and WiFi selection.
Enabling the WiFi will require more power, not sure exactly much. But a modem such as the MC7455, under load, can use up to 1A of power. The usage is also dependent on cellular signal strength.
I can tell you that a 1A power adapter on the WE826 with an MC7455 will have disconnect issues.
