mini dc ups but 19v
Well I didn't find one for my Asus router (that is plugged to the DSL modem in bridge mode). What I did is to enable the Wi-Fi capabilities of my modem and I am using the ups to power-up the modem only. During blackout, I switch from my regular router to the weak modem Wi-Fi (but at least I have internet)
Just get a normal UPS with an electric plug.
Pros:
-You won't be limited in router selection or any low powered appliance
- It will last much longer
- You will save your device from power surges
- Easier to find and replace battery
Cons:
- Uses more space
Pros outweighing the cons

You should add more noise as Cons too (good normal UPS have fans that spin in backup mode)
But overall if you have the space and $, it will be a good option

Noway a regular UPS is better for this, without entering into technical details as to why, but i wanna tell u from experience i have a 12v one and it has been powering my router since 3 years it lasts like 5 hours maybe more and at one point i had it power 2 routers and still lasted 3+ hoursAvoK95 wroteJust get a normal UPS with an electric plug.

I have a normal UPS and then got one of the 9/12v ones and it has worked flawlessly on my modem/router---it easily gets 6 hours and as a bonus when the power is out, my internet speed jumps from 4 mb to 6.5 mb, which is nice for downloads. It makes no noise (can't disable the sound on my UPS) and was hoping that there was a 19v option somewhere.
Edit: saw this at katranji. I wonder if it would work.

Good point, I usually pop the speaker out the second I get the UPS.wollyka wroteYou should add more noise as Cons too (good normal UPS have fans that spin in backup mode)

If you get the cheapest UPS with the smallest rating, I don't think they would come with fans. I got a few APC units that don't have fans.
That's pretty cool! I don't have the same experience at my end. Mine lasted around a year and a half, I just didn't want to look for a new battery, and at the time I had 2 devices (Modem+Router) and then added a new handy phone. Thus I decided to go back to a regular UPS.DNA wrote Noway a regular UPS is better for this, without entering into technical details as to why, but i wanna tell u from experience i have a 12v one and it has been powering my router since 3 years it lasts like 5 hours maybe more and at one point i had it power 2 routers and still lasted 3+ hours

@Xazbrat if you've got a multimeter to set the voltage there are lots of dc/dc converters at katranji some as cheap as 40000 for 20watts if your router is rated for <than 1 amp at 19v (which probably at this voltage). make sure u get one labeled UP on their website ( boost not buck).
