A UPS unit is similar to but different from a surge protector.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s one part surge protector and one part beefy battery that supplies power to the devices plugged into it\u2014much like the battery in a laptop runs the laptop even when it\u2019s unplugged from the wall.<\/p>\n<p>When the power goes out, the UPS springs into action and even though the lights might be out, your computer and connected equipment will still be humming along.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Should_I_Get_a_UPS_for_My_Network_Gear\"><\/span>Why Should I Get a UPS for My Network Gear?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll find plenty of recommendations to put a UPS on your computer, especially if you\u2019re doing mission-critical work or have expensive hardware to protect, but there\u2019s not as much talk about sl<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ing a UPS on other equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some reasons you might want to consider adding a UPS to your home network closet\u2014be that closet a proper rack or just a few bits of hardware on a shelf in the basement.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expensive_Equipment_Is_Worth_Protecting\"><\/span>Expensive Equipment Is Worth Protecting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to the kid-glove treatment, the PC gets all the love. Even though you might not have given it much thought before now, though, your home network gear and related components are likely worth quite a chunk of change.<\/p>\n<p>Between the modem, the router, any extras you may have added into your setup like a network switch, and then various smart home gear add-ons like a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Philips-Hue-Starter-Compatible-Assistant\/dp\/B095KQSXYH\/?tag=hotoge-20\">Phillips Hue Hub<\/a> for your smart bulbs, you\u2019re looking at a few hundred dollars or more worth of gear. Even if you\u2019re rocking a good budget Wi-Fi router it\u2019s still not cheap to replace.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Internet_Stays_On_During_Blackouts_and_Brownouts\"><\/span>The Internet Stays On During Blackouts and Brownouts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re just interested in protecting your network equipment from getting fried, sure, you could put a really high-quality surge protector on your network gear and call it a day. But by doing so you\u2019d be missing out on the biggest benefit of going with a UPS unit over a surge protector. It doesn\u2019t just offer better protection, it\u2019ll help keep your internet on in the face of brownouts and blackouts.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t think brownouts and power supply issues are a problem where you live? You might be surprised. If you had asked me before I hooked up UPS units to all my computers and network gear if my neighborhood had power problems, I\u2019d have said no. But after working at a PC hooked up to a UPS unit for years now, I can tell you the number of times there is a power disturbance (which you\u2019ll notice by hearing the UPS battery circuit click on) is surprisingly high.<\/p>\n<p>Those little fluctuations can be enough to drop your internet connection. Yet the computer you\u2019re using or the TV you\u2019re watching Netflix will stay on\u2014just with no internet connectivity. That\u2019s not really ideal if you\u2019re gaming or engrossed in a show.<\/p>\n<p>Because I have both a UPS on my PC and on my modem and router, whether there\u2019s a power sag in the form of a mild brownout or the entire neighborhood goes dark, I can stay online right through it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because in most cases, unless a blackout extends well beyond your neighborhood and is sustained in length, the internet will stay on thanks to the safeguards your ISP puts in place to deal with such events.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Pick_a_UPS_for_Your_Network_Gear\"><\/span>How to Pick a UPS for Your Network Gear<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-794293 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/UPSforRouterAPC.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"A small UPS unit hooked up to a cable modem and Wi-Fi router.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-credittext=\"APC\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">APC<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In our guide to selecting a UPS for your computer, we take a deep dive into the ins and outs of calculating power loads and UPS sizing requirements. If you\u2019re curious about the more advanced features of UPS units or how to crunch the numbers involved in selecting one, it\u2019s worth a read.<\/p>\n<p>Here, however, let\u2019s focus on the things that are im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely relevant to selecting a UPS for your modem, router, and adjacent gear. First, a warning about a particular kind of UPS you should avoid.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Skip_the_%E2%80%9CMini_UPS%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Skip the \u201cMini UPS\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before we dig into talking about the right size UPS and offering some recommendations though, let us steer you away from any products with names like \u201cMini UPS\u201d or similar. They look like a portable battery pack you might use for your phone but with a plethora of 12v and USB ports on them.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is you plug adapter cables for your modem, router, and other low-voltage gear into the mini UPS. In turn, the mini UPS, via its own 12v power cord, supplies the power along with a small internal battery as a backup.<\/p>\n<p>But they\u2019re very low quality, a potential fire hazard, and we simply can\u2019t recommend them when there are very high-quality products on the market at similar or slightly higher price points. Don\u2019t spend $50-80 on a no-name device that might destroy your modem or catch on fire when you can spend the same amount to get a UPS from a company with a 20+ year track record in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Stick with UPS designs from trusted companies, like APC or CyberPower, with AC outlets you plug your devices\u2019 manufacturer-supplied chargers into for the safest experience.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Size_Your_UPS_Based_on_Your_Needs\"><\/span>Size Your UPS Based on Your Needs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What UPS selection ultimately comes down to is how much power your gear uses and how long you want it to stay on when the power is out. UPS unit power capacity is listed in Volt-Amperes (VA) with a higher number indicating longer run time (a 425VA model will be exhausted long before a 1500VA model, for instance).<\/p>\n<p>In the case of a modest home network setup composed of a modem, a router\/Wi-Fi combo unit, and perhaps a small addon or two like a smart home hub, power usage is minimal.<\/p>\n<p>So minimal, in fact, that leaving them on 24\/7 barely costs you anything. All the devices added up together likely use less than a single incandescent bulb.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, you can easily get by with a smaller UPS unit, especially if your primary goal is simply smoothing out the brownout dips. Something like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/APC-Battery-Protector-Back-UPS-BE425M\/dp\/B01HDC236Q\/?tag=hotoge-20\">this 425A APC UPS<\/a> will suffice.

The upgrade will allow you to take advantage of USB-based communication between the NAS and the UPS unit, so the UPS unit can gracefully shutdown the NAS when the battery runs low. A graceful shutdown is critical for data integrity. Check the documentation for your particular NAS to learn more about the feature.<\/p>\n<p>For folks that have their equipment in their home office or otherwise next to their PC, it\u2019s a no-brainer to go big with the UPS unit.
