    These CyberPower UPS work well. I took these steps years ago and then realized that Comcast doesn't work when the power in the neighborhood goes out. I have AT&T fiber now and the internet keeps on working. The UPS will last for about 3 hours. I also have a generator that will power my whole house for longer outages. I have UPS' on my modem, security cameras and Ring Door Bell. Also have emergency lights in the house.

    I finally found the right UPS through your video!
    There was a power outage in our town and no internet was possible with my UPS. They said it was down in the whole place.
    And you also say we can connect anything you want to your UPS? Heater and freezer would be great!

    It should be pointed out that the SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) Battery (or batteries) in the UPS will be most effective for about 3 years. Push it out to 4 or 5 years and that UPS might not be there for you when you need it most. Also, if at all possible, get an UPS with hot swappable batteries so you don’t have to power down the unit to swap out the batteries.

    If I just used my Bluetti EB3A power station with UPS mode on, and plugged my Spectrum modem/router into the AC outlet on it, I would have wifi even in a power outage (that didn't effect Spectrum)? 🤔 I was impressed with the idea of plugging Spectrum into a power brick (that has passthrough charging) by getting a USB-DCbarrel cable, but I already own the Bluetti (which has more horsepower, and works with the standard AC plug from Spectrum). Your video got me wondering if anyone else has tried one way or the other? 😎

    A UPS is only as good as the battery. A basic UPS is likely rated to discharge the battery fully THREE times before the battery is totally dead. At any reasonable load the hold up time could be from one minute to five minutes. Some UPS have facility for additional battery banks to be added.

      I have always wanted a whole home backup. I will probably eventually get a Tesla powerwall. However, there is still the 30-60 seconds before the transfer switch kicks in that everything loses power. This battery backup would make it where you never lost whatever is plugged into it.

      Get a larger Power Bank. Wait for them to go on sale and get a good deal. I got the Bluetti AC180 for $640 on Black Friday. It's overkill maybe. But that's kinda the point. I wanted to be able to have plenty of power to keep Internet running for a few days while also being able to charge phones, laptops, and any other smaller appliances. It charges to fill capacity in under 2 hours. And charges from 0-80% in 45 minutes. So if needed, you can pop it in you're car when traveling to a different side of town and plug it in somewhere to charge it up pretty fast. You can also charge it in the car, although that is pretty slow. For a few hundred bucks more though, you can add some solar panels. And it takes 500 watts which is very good. I don't have those yet, but I will probably add them someday. Then you don't ever have to worry about completely running out of power. This is great for a few days of power outage where you aren't constantly running it. Just plug in the internet when you use it and unplug all you're devices after they are charged. For true emergencies you'd want to get a gas generator.

    Well, those Spectrum idiots who serve out little rural coastal town have chosen NOT to have
    any kind of power backup at their office in our town. SO whenever Pacific Power drops the
    electrical load which happens 2 or 3 times each winter, Spectrum drops offline. When we try to
    connect with a mobile device all we get is NO SERVICE The moment Pac Pwr restores power to
    our town, Spectrum internet roars to life. I dont understand. They cant even go to our local Home
    Depot or Harbor Freight store & buy a construction site gas genset to keep their service going
    while PacPwr fixes their problem? I dont understand. Maybe I dont know all the facts but I bet
    COMCAST would have us connected during power outages. Oh, and because our property outside
    of town is surrounded by 80ft pine trees, Starlink is not an option.

    I live in the United Kingdom. My landline has been switched to VOIP, which means no phone or Internet in a power outage. I purchased an inexpensive UPS, and was slightly disappointed that the 10 watt load (Wireless Router and Cordless Phone) was powered for 2 hours and 50 minutes. So, unless you buy a MONSTER UPS, they're only good for short outages!
    Perhaps a more cost effective and longer lasting emergency power system would be to power the Router directly via its 12 volt input from a large Lead Acid Deep Cycle Battery, which would keep the phones and Internet going a LOT LONGER than a farty little UPS?
    WARNING: To avoid damage, you would need to observe CORRECT POLARITY, and avoid short circuits, which could cause fire! 🔥... If you don't know your technological arse from your elbow, don't attempt this at home! ... Buy a farty little UPS instead! 🤣
    EDIT: It's amusing how Americans pronounce "Router" as "Row-ter" ("Row" as in an argument, not rowing a boat!), whereas we Brits pronounce it "Root-er!" 🤣 ... My sister-in-law is a Floridian, from Bradenton, now living here in the UK. I'll have to ask how she pronounces router.
    ANOTHER EDIT: My UPS beeps to warn of an outage, but then mutes itself after a short while.
