UPS for WiFi routers

 UPS for WiFi routers for stable internet connection

Why one should install individual UPS for WiFi routers?

If your internet connection is unstable due to issues like power cut, voltage fluctuations,  switching to alternate power sources like inverter, generator, solar panels, battery etc. You need an individual UPS for your router to provide an stable internet connection specially if you use it for work.

With the advent of high speed internet, most of the internet applications require an uninterrupted connection to work without any error. A slight interrupt may result in losing hours of effort, cancelled transactions or loss of important data. To avoid all these issues, one must invest on this simple device which can help ensure smooth connection for all your devices in the network.

What it does?

UPS routers consists of a battery and some circuitry to provide uninterrupted power supply to the WiFi routers. In most simple terms, it helps avoid any accidental re-start of routers which helps avoid internet connectivity issues as well as remove any delays caused by routers booting up before use.

What are the scenarios it can help?

• If power cuts are frequent in your locality.
• If their is a lot of voltage fluctuations in your power supply.
• If your router restarts while switching to inverter or power backup.
• If your router restarts while switching back from power backup to mains.
• Additional benefits: Protection of costly Router from voltage fluctuations and lightning strikes.

How it protects routers from above-mentioned issues:

Just like computers, routers require uninterrupted power supply to work normally. Even a disconnection of less than 1 second can restart the router breaking all the existing connections and forcing the router to perform the boot up sequence which usually takes few seconds to 2-5 minutes.

Router UPS resolves this issue by providing the power backup directly from batteries while charging simultaneously from the adapter. It plugs in between the adapter and the router and acts as a power buffer. Depending upon the capacity of the battery, it may last from few minutes to several hours. In more sophisticated routers, the power is supplied directly from mains and switches to battery without any lag in switching through sophisticated power switching techniques.

Should you install it?

Yes, you should always opt for it. Even if you do not have restart issues, it protects the costly routers from voltage spikes. Provides stable internet connection for accidental power failures and a peace of mind. A small investment saves you a lot of troubles.

When can you avoid it?

If internet connectivity is not an issue for any of your devices and you are using the default WiFi routers from your internet service provider. You can skip installing it.
