A layered approach is needed, the UPS replaces the end power strip at the equipment end of the line.

agree and works
EXCEPT when the power outage is at the power supplier to the internet equipment. Charter was out this week for 10 hours due to a power outage at a server/routing center. . . somewhere, and there was no information showing on the SECO outage map. . .
So the UPS works until it doesn't. . and have had electrical outages and had enough time to finish and save all work and shut down safely due to UPS on the modem/router equipment. . but it's also not unlimited in battery time
good luck to everyone, we need it!
