The modem and possibly router if you have one will use barely any electricity at all. Check the wattage on them, I'm sure it's VERY low (maybe around 10W). Then look at your computer, if you have a modern machine it's probably somewhere between 300W-500W. I have my desktop, server, laptop, modem and router on 24/7.
