Re: ha said by N3OGH:FYI it might be a good idea to pick up a fairly robust UPS for just such a situation. I keep my DSL modem and wireless router behind a UPS and it rand for hours during our last power outage. Might not be a bad idea, depending on how often your power goes out. I bought all of it when I was using VoIP to keep my voice communications up during outages. I'm back on POTS now, but I still have the equipment. Good idea. I keep my cable modem & wireless router behind an UPS and that can let me use my laptop for about 3 or 4 hrs with power down.

Not when the cable HFC power injectors' batteries last 0-10 minutes since they are 2 decades old, or were stolen to be used in cars and motorcycles. |
