Are router power-backup solutions a good buy?

[LordSpymaster]

So I've been working from home for a year or so and its annoying when there's a powercut and the power backup takes under 5 minutes to come back on.

During this I usually start my phone's hotspot and work via that for those 5 minutes or so. But its kind of annoying.

So then I came across router power banks which basically give power backup for a couple of minutes till the mains comes back. But honestly its a solution for such a trivial issue that I'm not sure if it's going to be a smart or silly purchase

Link to one such product: Oakter Mini UPS for 12V WiFi Router Uninterrupted Power Backup for WiFi Routers During Power Outage Upto 2 Hours Power Backup to Wi-Fi Router 12V up to 3A (Assorted Colour) : Amazon.in: Computers & Accessories

Has anyone been using something like this? And is the peace of mind worth it?

Most of the home invereters today has UPS mode. Haven't noticed my TP-Link router rebooting during power cuts.

Some of these advertise themselves as online UPS. Oakter Mini UPS for 12V WiFi Router Broadband Modem
(Interestingly, They also only offer 6 month warranty because the battery will wear out a lot quicker in an online UPS)

I'll try to find some other solutions since this doesn't sound like the way to solve this

this review does say it is an online ups so i imagine it should work fine.

the model i purchased has an on/off switch which means you can basically bypass the battery and power directly.

Though out of stock. Perfect to plug in directly the router.

My Cuzor UPS died last week after ~1 year of satisfactory service, fortunately there was 10 days of warranty still remaining and I contacted them today, they've arranged a pickup from my address. The person on call said that they'll replace the PCB at their Bangalore service center and ship it back.

So I ended up buying the below model since from among all the choices, this one seemed to have the best after-sales support. And was priced affordably so that if it conks off in 1 year I won't be that mad.

Is there any budget router UPS with two 12V 2A output ports?

@LordSpymaster Do share your feedback on the same, I ordered it and have to cancel as it had only 6 months warranty, picked up Cuzor.

Testing backup currently, 2.30hrs without WiFi so far.

@MadAxe If you need 2A power, guess it’s not available in budget, did some research recently before deciding on Cuzor.

I think it ran for about 1.5 hours for me before dying. I need it to run for about 30 minutes so I'm happy with it.
