Preventing the DSL line from going off when the power goes off

darkredbbb

Every time the power goes off in our apartment, even though I have the modem+router connected to a UPS, the Internet gets cut off. The modem+router stays on, but I get disconnected and it would stay disconnected until I turn the machine off, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on.

Is there any way to solve this? This has gotten really annoying especially lately with the numerous power cuts around Beirut.

Other info:
Connected to Central Jdeideh.
Subscribed with WISE ADSL 512k, using a modem+router machine that they gave me when I subscribed, that doesn't really have a brand name, it's just black :P
All our telephone lines have DSL splitters connected to them.

well considering the modem " stays on " but you get disconnected , i'm guessing it's actually rebooting.
you sure you have a UPS or APS ?

Excuse my ignorance, but what's an APS? How can I tell if what I have is a UPS or an APS?

It is usually written on the cover of the device. But in case it is not, usually the batteries of a UPS go inside it, while those of the APS are external.

Same happens with me. I have my ADSL modem connected to a UPS, but still only the connection cuts. I dont know if phone lines are connected to power lines in some way, but I know that it would be stupid if that turns out to be true.

At my house I've got both the ADSL router and the phone connected to an APS and it never cuts off.

Same thing happens with me, my modem is hooked up to a UPS, when the power cuts down the PPP link goes down as if the modem has been restarted.

MrClass

No I have ADSL from Terranet. Oh by the way guys, I once (actually twice) lost the configuration inside the modem machine due to electric cuts. So be careful, it might happen to you if the modem keeps restarting on every electric cut.

I checked, it's a UPS. Anyone figured it out yet?

In other words , when the power goes off ,it automatically switches to generator power or you switch it manually?
