[PLUG] [OT] UPS for a router

[शंतनू]

I have not tried things suggested, but they should work.

It would be useful to know the answers for following question:
What is the input and output ratings (voltage, current) of power adapter
of the wifi routers?

Battery dimensions (http://www.whitedogbatteries.com/batspecs.htm)
For 3 A/hr
11.4 cm x 7.1 cm x 8.6 cm

You may also think of using the battery from your UPS directly (without
converting it to AC).
It could be more efficient.

Voltage regulators:

You can use the router which you prefer; using battery+dc voltage
regulator as per the
specifications of router.
