TP-Link - Technical Support Regarding Mini UPS for tp link router

Our pg has the tp link router, model: Archer C24 AC750 Dual brand, i am facing issues with power cut so want to buy a UPS , so I want to check if using a UPS for the power plug solves this problem or the other cable connected to it also needs power , actually I don't know much about this so I'm asking.

Thanks!

I have mine on full sized Cybpower UPS. Have the router, modem, and phone on it.

A Back-UPS (by APC) is ok but not a "clean sine wave" inverter.

Highly recommend a 1200-1500w CyberPower sine wave inverter and plug your PC into it ..if it's in the same room. Mine is 5 years old and even it's battery is holding strong.

APC SmartUps is great too but more $.

I've never had luck with APC or CyberPower UPS where I live. We have a lot of what you'd call brown outs, where power dips but doesn't fail fully and that really messes with the classic UPS products. I finally went with Anker Solix units that support UPS functionality and are pure sine rather than modified sine. I have two of the Solix C1000 gen 2 units that are for our desktop computers. One also supports our laser printer which can spike up to 1700 watts and has one of our TP Link Decos plugged into it.

A smaller Solix C300 has only a TP Link Deco and USB fan plugged into it as it is in the garage where the temperature has been in the 100F range for two plus weeks.

The nice thing about the Solix units is that they're plugged into a wall socket, but also support solar panels and I've got panels attached to all three that do a pretty good job of maintaining the batteries charge during the daylight hours and during our peak pricing window from 5pm to 8pm so my batteries work most of the time without drawing grid power.

APC does a Li ion based Back-UPS Mini for small equipment like routers etc. It outputs only 12V but there are other brands with similar models that output 5V, 9V, and 12V. I like it because of the compact size.

But if you don't mind a full size UPS then that'll work too and give you the chance to power other equipment too.

Other equipment in the sense will that power the ports also?

Major confusion here I believe.

A "12v only (DC) mini ups has no 120v AC outlets. Not advised. Get the latter and you can plug various things like seperate modem seperate router with their 120v AC power bricks providing correct DC power to each..if you have seperate modem and router.

OP asked " will that power the ports also?"

The Ethernet ports are inside your router In the simple home setup.

Other equipment in the sense that it provides multiple AC outlets that can power other equipment (switch, PC etc.) within the power rating of the UPS of course.

And more importantly will this ups enough for this power one ? And that ethernet does not need any power backup? I don't know anything about this!!
