I could be wrong, but it sounds like, if you get your WIFI through a modem in your house, a backup battery in the garage would not work. You would need a battery for the modem.

The old digital phone systems had a backup battery that would provide about 8 hours of phone service when the house power went out. I think they did that to compete with the analog phones that did not need house power.
