Uninterruptible power supply for modem/router - which one to buy?

I'm going to buy an uninterruptible power supply, but I only need it to keep my modem/router powered. I have a laptop that has its own battery, so no problem here. I live in the countryside and there are frequent power outages, often very short, e.g. they turn off for a few seconds, turn on, turn off, etc. This is often the case during thunderstorms. Either way, I need a power adapter to keep my modem/router running so my internet connection doesn't drop. Besides, I'm afraid that this type of switching off and on can break the equipment.
However, I don't know what uninterruptible power supply would be best for a modem/router - online, offline, line-interactive? And why?
Can anyone suggest a specific model?

I repeat once again, it's not about maintaining the power supply of the entire computer and monitor, but only the modem / router.

greetings

Which is powered by what voltage? 9VDC? All you need is a suitable battery as a buffer. For example, 12 V / 10 Ah, a step down converter for 9 VDC and some charger for it.

a buffer power supply would be best. Least losses. Cheaply. What voltage does the router need?

It's best to buy a small uninterruptible power supply, the so-called UPS. You connect it to the network and the router's power supply to it and you have maintenance-free continuous power supply of the router switched automatically. Combining with a battery, converter and switching is nonsense. I do not know why colleagues ask about the power supply voltage of the router. It is known that from the mains through the power supply. In addition, the advantage of the UPS is the ability to simultaneously use the emergency power supply for other devices powered from the mains, e.g. a telephone charger. The disadvantage is the durability of the battery placed in it, which must be replaced every 5 years. However, this is a problem with virtually every emergency power solution

In the search box on the sales portal, enter UPS and select. Simple, efficient and cost about PLN 100.

Have you ever sat in a room like this? Which in the described situation will se notoriously "pop" when switching? You throw it away after a week. In a buffered power supply you have silent switching and zero transfer time. You can buy a power supply in a housing for PLN 100, plus a battery. On Allegro, there are even inventions for PLN 50 for finger batteries for the router, too much. The condition is the power supply voltage of the router, around 12V. The author clearly wrote that he is only interested in supporting the router. It seems that he wrote it fully consciously.

I work next to such a power supply all the time and it doesn't pop. It only pops when the power goes out, which doesn't happen all the time. I don't know why you say he's going to be a pain in the ass. Secondly, the author probably does not live next to the router.

Do not exaggerate with the described situation and constant puffing. Was ZE throwing them a disco?

I suggest you try to use something like in the picture, if the power outages are not long-lasting. When buying remotely, you can return it in a few days if it does not meet expectations. Of course, the questions about the supply voltage were justified, because such a device should be selected according to the parameters of the router.
Advantages: quiet, relatively cheap for a UPS, and replacing the battery, e.g. once a year or two, about PLN 30 (with a good battery brand).

Read carefully what the author wrote:

House in the countryside. Silence peace. I can hear the relays from the technical room downstairs.

So they have a free disco served by ZE. That's what you interpreted. During a thunderstorm, it is at the moment of an atmospheric discharge much louder than a "pop" and usually the noise of wind and rain also incomparably louder than switching the UPS. I don't hear it when I switch to the battery. The return switching is a bit audible, but not enough to disturb the neighboring rooms.

For this price, you can buy a specific 230/230V UPS with a battery inside and use it without any combination with the possibility of using it for other devices. A good brand is to replace the battery after more than 5 years. Weak approx. 3 years. Of course, it is worth noting that it should be with a "cold start".
The choice, of course, belongs to the author of the topic. We have indicated only our subjective opinions.

Thank you for your opinion.

Exactly, it's about the tp-link Archer MR400 - AC1200 Wireless Dual Band 4G LTE Router.

As for the supply voltage, I honestly don't know, but I found something like this on the tp-link website for this model:

External Power Supply: 12V/1A

I will add and make it clear that I am NOT talking about the power supply on which I would work on this modem for a long period of time. It is simply about protection against sudden power cuts/switches. The point is that the router does not turn off suddenly and that I can figure out what the situation is for the next few minutes - whether to turn off the equipment and wait, or whether I can continue working, because it has calmed down.

And this Buffered PSU above for PLN 103 would be good for my router? There in the picture it says 12V/2.1A, and this router of mine seems to be 12V/1A. Would that work well? Nothing would burn?

Of course, nothing will happen. The power supply can always be of a higher current efficiency (A). If it had a lower current efficiency, it wouldn't necessarily be suitable. Voltage compatibility (V) is important and must be the same.

m500 is enough for you. I bought a UPS for PLN 66 for a fiber optic router, it's not a miracle. The router passes the exam, it consumes 4.5 watts, the working time to discharge 4 batteries is 55 minutes. I used 4 nickel batteries 1.2 V, capacity 4 x 2600 mAh. I also ordered another, more capacious UPS. Lithium batteries 10,000 mAh for cameras. The important thing is that when the power is turned on by the ZE light, the cameras do not like it, they can be damaged. It is enough for the UPS to give a few minutes of work. Will test it after receiving the parcel

Returning to the previous topic, I added 4 more AA batteries in parallel, the working time increased to 2.5 hours
