If you work from home and are unlucky enough to live in an area with frequent power micro-outages that cause your router to reset, you might want to consider a UPS specifically designed for this purpose, which will keep your Wi-Fi network up and running at all times.
On AliExpress, we found this small UPS that uses four rechargeable 18650 lithium batteries as a power backup; these batteries aren’t included and must be purchased separately. This feature allows you to customize the backup battery capacity to your liking and easily replace it if it degrades or fails.
This small UPS includes several ports, providing a maximum power output of 18W. It has three DC connectors with voltages of 5V, 9V, and 12V, which can be used to power your router, as well as a PoE output that can be configured via a small switch to 15V/0.6A or 24V/0.6A. It also features a 5V/2A USB port that can be used to power other compatible devices, such as a security camera.
It’s very compact, measuring just 161 x 105 x 34 mm, so you can install it anywhere. It also comes with a power cable and a pair of DC cables, one of which is a Y-cable in case you want to connect two devices to a single port.
Price and Availability
- The DC1018L mini UPS is available on AliExpress for about €25 and also on Amazon.
