Keeping one's spouse happy is FAR more important than keeping a router or modem online. ;-)

Hi,
On Jan 12, 2022, at 11:35 AM, Scott T Anderson via NANOG <nanog@nanog.org> wrote: services, I was wondering if anyone had any insights on the prevalence of battery backup for home modem/routers? I.e., what percentage of home users actually install a battery backup in their home modem/router or use an external UPS?
Given that most people barely even know what their home router is, I suspect the percentage would be somewhere south of 1 percent. Outside of my home, I honestly cannot recall EVER seeing someone’s home using a battery backup for their internet infrastructure.
Same here. A small UPS that will keep my modem, router, and POE for APs alive for the time I need to run outside and hook up my generator when PG&E decides to cut the power again. A bigger UPS for the small 19" rack that hosts some stuff.
