We bought that models second hand and they were at least 10 years old.
I have no exact reference to the manufacturer and the models. During that 
time, we were looking for a bunch of very cheap 12V panels with a size that 
can be easliy shipped and which provide around 50 Watts. 

Without  having made any precise calculations we estimated 2x50 Watt panels 
for a routerstation with 3 radios (~8 Watt) and one 50 Watt Panel for a 
DIR-300 linksys (~1.5 Watt). The 50-Watt DIR-300 setup was also equipped with 
a IP50 VoIP phone (~5 Watt), but these were supposed to be off during night.

These days small panels are somwhat difficult to get because most 
manufacturers change their production line to 200++ Watt panels.

Dont know if it helps.
