Rubbish! The power supply does not equal the power useage!
A modem like your Ambit (e.g. Ambit 256 U10C018) uses 5W and most cable gateways (like the Superhub1/2/2ac) use around 8W. 10W if you have wifi enabled and active.
Just use it in modem mode.
Gateways similar to the Hub 3 use 8W standby and 16W when fully active with wifi and telephony. In modem mode (without telephony) it'll probably be around 10W.
Still nothing compared to most appliances.
