Best UPS for routers

Updated on 21-Apr-2021

If you look around your home, you’ll find that all your major internet-connected devices are running on batteries – your laptop, smartphone, tablet and more. However, that’s usually not the case with your router – the device which makes wireless internet connectivity possible. To solve the issue of losing connectivity every time there’s a power cut, you need to get a router UPS that can deliver the power backup you need. Capable options from leading brands can offer seamless switching and smart charging so that you can be worry-free. Here are some models available on Amazon that promise a great combination of features and specifications.

Oakter Mini UPS

Designed as a power backup for all types of 12V routers, the Oakter Mini UPS can deliver up to 2 hours of uninterrupted power supply. This is supported by its 2000mAh battery capacity. The model packs additional sockets and universal connectors to maximise compatibility. Its simple plug-and-play setup gets the backup up and running in under a minute. As long as there is a power supply, the smart charging system in the UPS ensures that the battery keeps charging. The model is designed to be compact, with its 7.5cm by 9cm frame occupying minimal space. Its 2cm thickness also allows for easy storage.

Cuzor Mini UPS

At 180g, the Cuzor Mini UPS is a lightweight power backup for your router that aims for uninterrupted supply. Its operating temperature of 0-50 degrees celsius ensures that it is ready for hotter regions. The model promises a power backup of up to 5 hours, enough for most users. Its power line detection circuit is capable of delivering zero lag switching when the power supply is interrupted. This saves your critical equipment from a restart. The UPS ensures a Lower Depth of Discharge (DoD) per charging cycle to extend the battery life of the device. The durability is further enhanced by the optimised CC-CV charging algorithm.

The Resonate RouterUPS is built with a RoHS Certification, making its design more environment friendly. The model comes with Intelligent electrical safety protection circuits with battery management systems. These features ensure maximum battery health and power efficiency. It aims to deliver up to four hours of power backup for your router, allowing for ample time to finish any important work. In case your router is installed in a wall-mounted setup, you can also install the Resonate RouterUPS similarly to its wall-mounting socket, thus keeping it close to your router. At under 200g, it can be held in place on the wall with minimal support.
