I need back up power for my Router only!!

S

I need a back up power supply for my 12v router only, Since I have a Laptop. I been searching the net for 2 days still can't find a reasonably prised back up system.

UPS seems to be the main choice but there is also a problem of UPS going to sleep mode because it 12v is pretty low. If there is a UPS that works with low voltage, let me know.

My Budget is very low Rs. 1100. If anyone can recommend a power back up just for my router, I'll be happy.

Thanks.

You need back up for your router. But what is that to do with the laptop?? I don't' understand whether you need backup for your laptop too? :unsure:

No Just for my Router. I still haven't found one. Would appreciate if anyone is using power back-up just for the router or if they can help it'll work.

@saswat23 thanks for link but it still hasn't solved my issue.

I think a normal UPS would do the trick.

Pick up a normal Intex 650 Va at that price. should do the trick :wink:

Or Microtek/APC600VA.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll think what to buy soon.

Numeric 600VA has the problem of going into sleep mode if the consumption is too low.

I've APC 600VA UPS and it doesn't go to sleep mode. It can power the Router for more than 30-40 mins ( not checked the total time ) and its sufficient.

I had used Intex UPS and they go to sleep mode if power supploed is too low.

I need a power backup for my modem cum router. I use it with my laptop so only router needs to be powered up. Has anyone used any such solution for low power consumption unit. Please suggest.

i have APC 600VA, and it powers my Router sufficiently for more than 2.5hrs, have'nt tried more than that, but it should give more than 4 hrs..
and it does'nt go to sleep while powering just the router, so i recommend that..

And what about that dreadful beep beep beep?

Not talking about the version with the software link, that one has been eol'ed.

Still, loud enough to pierce my soul

i used a powercom 600va, its cheap and gives 2+hours for my modem, but i switch off after that so i dont know the exact runtime, ITS BUZZER CAN BE SWITCHED OFF with a press of the button...

I have the exact same issue as the OP. I recently bought a iBall Nirantar 621-V to keep my Wifi router/modem on during frequent power cuts in our area. During a power cut, the UPS immediately shuts off in a minute due to low load. I called up iBall support only to learn that the UPS requires at least 60W of load to the battery to prevent auto-shutoff. This fact is nowhere mentioned in the manual. So please don't buy iBall Nirantar 621-V if you just need a UPS for your modem. I will be going for the APC model as some of the members have suggested.

bumping 2 year old thread? :facepalm:

admins - it would be better to close the thread.
