Cable Modem/Router on UPS?

Can I put my cable modem and router on battery backup of my Cyber Power UPS or is this a bad idea? The ups is 1500VA at 900W. The pc and monitor amount to a load of 16%.

As long as you have capacity, it's a good idea

Re: Cable Modem/Router on UPS?

Thanks for the reply Simpswr. I just connected the modem, router and vonage phone box to the ups and the load capacity only went up 1%.

By the way, is it possible to contribute to the forum via snail mail?

I have a 1250VA Cyberpower unit, and I have this machine, as well as my router, switches, and VoIP box connected to it.
