- Backup Power aka Portable UPS also known as Mini UPS for your WiFi Routers so that. your work does not get interrupted if there is a power outage I tested 3 different models. What you should know about these portable router UPS and who is this for and for whom these might not be suitable. I had purchased 3 different popular models one for Oakter, one from Resonate 2A model and third from Zinq and share my experience in this video.
1) Zinq 12V 2A UPS Router amzn.to/3lVxbq9
2) Resonate RouterUPS CRU12V 2A amzn.to/3jLvuc6
3) Oakter Mini UPS for 12V WiFi Router amzn.to/3xJj4GK - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Many of you have been asking does this work with Jio Fiber supplied router and yes it does.
Perfect timing for this product review as I was confused what to buy. 👍
Ur a some
Great..thanks👍
What about energy intelligence. That company provides 3 years of warrenty.
Hey Ranjith,
You don't need a Router UPS. You can have a USB to DC barrel adapter and connect it to a two way charging power bank which costs less than 1k. I have been using in this way from the past 6 months with my TP-Link AX1500 WiFI 6 router and Mi power bank without any issues. You can use the same power bank to simultaneously charge your phone on a long power cut. Even the mileage is far better like 7-10 hours of backup depends on usage.
Router UPS isn't worth the price. I hope this helps for most people.
I'm using Zinq past 8 months for my hathway 2.4GHz router, battery backup is about 6 HOURS!!!! It's amazing, never expected such as good performance!
May I know how to charge it separtely without connecting as my zinq mini ups shuts down as power goes off..I think its battery drained
@@james77282 disconnect the wifi router and only plug in the zinq to the adapter
Thanks
@@ankitvitha2843 still using it
And getting solid 5+ hours of backup time
@@thepredator2964 again Thanks alot🙌, i was searching for the ups which is compatible with Hathway 2.4GHz Router.
I have a Resonate RouterUPS CRU12V 2A device attached to my WiFi router for the past 3 years. And after 3 years it barely lasts up to 30 minutes. Hope other video watchers can benefit from this comment.
I have been using this product since three months for my excitel wifi router, and I can without a doubt say that it was the best decision I ever made, period
zinq router u r saying? but excitel router have 12v 1.5A is it work?
You are the only big TH-camr who covered these small things. I used this video to buy this in 2023
I had bought the resonate router ups just a week back. Its working perfectly fine. Had you made this video a week earlier i'd have saved 500 rs😂
😂😅 niceee one
Life is not that great. 1 year to 1.5 years and mostly battery stops charging
Many fibre based Internet services have separate modem and router. Wish these companies provided 2 output ports instead
There are some which has a standard 3 pin socket. And the new fiber router especially from airtel has single modem router.
If space is not an issue, better go with a normal 600VA UPS. I use my old Intex UPS with my Modem and Router, works wonderfully.
@@ritwiksondhi but ups convert dc current to ac , so it won't last for long time .
@@sukhinsl3917 My intex UPS is 7 years old and it managed to give over an hour of backup.
Wow,, @Gareeb Scientist in the comment. The best indian tech TH-camr. No offense to Ranjit.
By the way one can use a dc splitter cable. I'm using it. Works like a charm. Use parallel connection of course. One needs to check the voltage requirements. The splitter cables are cheap though.
Thanks!
Wow
Thanks, Shubam!
Have been using Resonate for the past 1 year. Super good product. 6 to 8 hours backup.
Bro for jio router will it work
Ranjit sir says "Thanks for watching" in the end of his videos
I reply "Thanks for your wonderful videos" !! 😃🙏🙌🙌Simply the best
Why dont they put the battery in the router itself? "Router with 5 hrs of power backup" :)
😄 because battery life is for 1 year then useless!
Because it will be pointless and heavy stuff will increase the prices, the company also doesn't count frequent power cuts that happens in India
Most routers are not made for India market in mind
Also battery change can became a hasel
Having a different power bank/ups is better
Price also high
Most places have backup power like office ups and most home pcs have a ups.
I made my own router UPS for a 12V JioFiber router from an old power bank and it has been working fine for more than a year. The building cost was around 400/-.
How?
Share the idea man!
Its very easy, for creating 12volts you need 3 things
2, 3.7v batteries from a powerbank, a 2S BMS (150-200rs) and a dc-dc boost converter (200 rs)
BMS takes care of charging the batteries in a balanced was and also keeps the voltage stable while discharging. DC-DC boost converter connects to BMS and converts 7.8v from BMS to regulated 12 volts
My UPS which has 2 batteries from Mi 10000mah powerbank (2.5 years old) runs the router for more than 6 hours
I've been using Resonate for about 4 months now , with my Airtel DSL connection. Since the DSL one does not have a powerful router, it gave me a backup of 6 1/2 hours. Plus the switching is seamless and the device has good build quality.
Airtel xstream fibre ??
@@11.arshabhdwivedi41 nope, it's DSL🥲. DSL to fibre upgradation should've taken place last year, but Covid extended the timeline.
Should we have to charge the powerbank??
@@ashishsingh41220 you have to keep it plugged in, just like a desktop UPS.
@@22b_gc8 ok so it will get charged by the Xtreme fiber switch when there is no power cut??
I don't have any interest in this product but just came to leave a LIKE coz I am sure this guy did a great job.
I am using zinq ups from more than a year.. it works like charm. Got close to 4.5 hrs backup for airtel fiber optic router.
Is it worth money?
@@chaitanyapatil9692 Undoubtedly - best investment if you WFH and prefer uninterrupted wi-fi.
I had just placed the order right after watching this video. It's a long overdue necessity from my end which I never know or thought existed😅..thanks a lot....
As an Electrical Student I’d harvest some li-ion cells from old laptop battery or a powerbank and I’ll get a BMS board from Robu or Amazon for like 300Rs and make my own pack of 12V and for dual voltage mode I can use a buck converter which is like 100rs and I’ll vary the POT to get 9V. Voila now you have your own UPS with much more backup time
..This is my setup i power my fiber ONT and a TP link router at the same time and it lasts for more than 7Hours…If you are in to DIY.This is your go to solution
I ordered Zinq one instantly after watching this, much needed. Thanks!
Buy normal computer UPS it will also help with other devices
@@abhishek.1205 I will have to get a computer first, I guess :D
@@abhishek.1205 a normal UPS wouldnt even last 1 hour underload with other devices and its not at all efficient for charging/powering DC devices.
sed lyf it was priced around 1090 before this video came out lol
Dr .com is better then zinq
I'm using Resonate for Jio Fiber router. Absolutely reliable. Great backup.
How many hours ?
@@storiesbytapper approximately 5 hours. You can go for it.
@@storiesbytapper approximately 4- 4.5 hours. You can go for it.
2A or 2.5A Jio Router?
@@shubhamkumar-lw3eq 12V, 2A
Was actually looking for something like this!
Best versatile Indian reviewer out there!
9:11 exactly my situation, Airtel and Jio provide a hybrid system but local operators provide only the modem with which i had to install a router too, that's why 2 output ports in that ups would have been ideal.
You can use a dc splitter cable. Just check the voltage and current requirements. Dc splitter cables are available online at a very cheap price. I'm using it.
@@redbluebrownmonkey4315 can you provide some links?
Or if you use a better router than the provided one
Just use a dc splitter i made my own dc splitter and its working fine for both router and ont device
@@gurupramodashetty452 how?
I am currently using the Cuzor UPS (from that Bangalore startup) and my first unit wasn't charging after I had drained the battery. The unit was replaced and I haven't drained it again, It works okay now.
I have also been using same UPS in my TP Link MR600. Never faced any problem till... It's a very good product from an Indian brand.
Just bought Dr Com Router backup. Must buy for those who want simultaneous multiple output (fiber owner). It lasted 3+ hour power outage today and can be used to charge upto 3 devices including usb out for mobile charging.
Yes brother I too buyed same product and using from past 1 month and it given 5hrs backup for me ..
I am using the artis AR-MINI DC-3 gives 8hrs of backup and it costs me 2.5k. It can power both 9V and 12V routers. Besides the router, it can power CCTV, set-top boxes, POE devices, and even smartphones with its USB port. The device is compact too roughly a size of a set-top box. If ur area have recurrent power failures in your area you can definitely go for this device.
How do you u know that its 🔋 is full ?
@@mayengbamayingbi5412 You know those four green lights on it? When they're not blinking anymore and stay lit, it means it's completely charged up and good to go. It's like a sign that says, "Hey, I'm all powered up!"
@@Joshua-YYHi glad I found your comment and recent reply. I'm about to order the same artis ups for router, can you please tell if u still would recommend the same? Is it still working after 1+yrs? I'm going through all these reviews and looks like every ups battery will die after 1yr. My Oakter died after 1yr , so looking for something more reliable. Hope you reply this:)
@@whiterose5083 Certainly! I've had the Artis UPS for my router for over 2 years now, and I'm pleased to share that it's still working flawlessly. Like with any battery-powered device, its efficiency could potentially decline over time, but up until now, it has proven to be consistently reliable. Feel free to move forward with confidence!
@@Joshua-YY 👋 Is it still working? Your Artis Router UPS ????
I like that a trusted channel that reviews all provides things like this,he even mentioned the benefits of fiber in the constant power connection to the usage
I have been using the Resonate UPS since September 2016. It is still working. It used to give almost 5 hours backup with Airtel Broadband (not fibre). Now I have switched to Jio Fibre. Now it gives only 1 hours backup. It may also be since the UPS is 5 years old 😁
That's 5 years, wow !! RESONATE has the first mover advantage
Mine does after 1 year 😢
Zinq 12V 2A UPS Router - Using since last 5 months - it works great
Bought a step up dc converter...and connected to mi 20000mAh powerbank...
I get 36 hours backup..total spent 1.5k..
Doesn't it heats up
you are so genuine, that makes us trust you dedicatedly. Thank you
Ranjit Sir I hope that this year you will also upgrade to Galaxy Z Fold 3 .
You are most Popular Tech Wizard . Thanks for bringing this type of stuff, content. ☺️☺️😌😌
Using resonate router UPS since 2016. No problem in the unit till now. UPS provides almost 3hrs backup for my TP-Link C7 (AC 1900) router.
Alright that's the third comment where i see someone using for well over.5 years.,
@@netcase8378 Haha! Still working. 😄
Hi sir I am using Cuzor CZ-01A-12 Power Backup for wifi router and it's come in Square shape instead of rectangle so comparatively smaller. It also working fine.
I am using this for online classes where power goes off and backup power comes in about 10-20 seconds. So for seemless internet I am using this wifi UPS
I am using Resonate wifi router UPS for almost more than a year with Jio fiber router. I never had problem. It's very good.
Thanks for the review on oakter. I was almost going to purchase it from cred.
for 500 i felt it was a steal
Just bought the zinq one after watching this video.
Thank you sir
How to claim warranty?
Waiting for your z fold 3 review 😁😁
LOL don't have the device with me.... so the review will take a long time :)

@@abhikanur9606 obviously
And it's even important when this video has ad of Z3 fold in start🤣🤣
@@abhikanur9606 NO. Don't try it, it is very risky, it will overheat the modem.

Another product I bought just before your review and your recommendation is same which I bought. Zinq one..
Thanks for these different from the rest tech videos, thanks a lot Ranjit sir, we can count on your reviews blindly 😃🙌
I have been using that Zinq ups, it works for 3 hours and don't even get heated. That's cool.
For WFH scenario what we actually need is an inverter. Single solution to all problems.
Used the Zinq after watching this video and here I am after 11 months of usage and the ups has stopped providing the output. Not sure about the problem here, if the battery is dead inside. Customer service of Zinq is pathetic as unable to reach out to them on call or email.
Thank you so much for making quality content 🤠.
Using resonate one for jio fiber for last 6 months. Works great. Got 3.5 hours backup
2.5A or 2A jio Router?
I always love these type of content from GeekyRanjit !! ❤
I Hope you are Fine !! 😀
Hi @geekyranjith
I bought the zinq model based on your review, but i wouldnt say that it is providing uninterrupted backup. It actually disconnects and takes about 1-2mins to reconnect which does not fulfill its purpose.
I am using the one from CUZOR- Bangalore Based start up having better quality and fit n finish + half size of these router ups costing around 1600 INR.
It's working flawlessly since last 1.5 years.
@kamlesh kumar im lm also using that but one week before it suddenly fall from the table height less than meter so stopped working. only input light is working output is not coming will they cover under warranty?
@@nishanthlesnar7906 Any physical damage due to our mistake is not covered in warranty of any product unless accidental damage is separately purchased
@@Kkmanjhi is there anyway bro to fix it?
@@nishanthlesnar7906 It's pretty much like the power bank We get for 800-900 INR range but with an extra UPS circuit.
If you can create or repair a DIY electronic circuit then yes.
I was about to purchase one and got your video notification
WIFI UPS was really cheap initially. As lockdown and WFH increased, these prices skyrocketed. I have 2 router UPS one from Zinq and another from another company I can't recall. I got both of them for less than 1k
Sir you won't believe I was thinking for this only
Thanks a lot sir
Should've also included Cuzor Mini UPS which is made in our very own Bengaluru. Spec wise its identical and has nice better overall fit and finish. Cuzor has the feature of on/off completely. I have it and it switches off the router if I select the off button. I have a fiber modem and a router both of which have combined output of 12v 2amp so I just attached a DC splitter cable and its providing power to both of my devices. You should've included Cuzor Mini UPS device. Its better than the ones you reviewed. Anyways I'm always fan of your tech related videos. So, kudos.
How is backup for cuzor ones
@@sanjusamanta7308 I have connected 2 devices which have 1Amp each through DC splitter cable. So, in total its 12v 2Amps which gives me power back up of approx 3.5 hours.

@@anjoesebastian5135 thanks
I put a router in repeater mode in a floor in our house. That floor doesn't have inverter. I stuck the ResonateUPS to the router using double side tape. Works fine.
interesting.. they also have a wall mount option if i recollect right, check on it..
@@netcase8378 Yeah but I didn't hang the router or the battery to a wall. Even if I did, if u use the sticker, u don't need 2 holes
I did some research before buying this device (though I had a recommendation for zinq from someone) but Cuzor seems more reliable and compact as well, works with Jiofiber router/modem.
1 year warranty (No questions asked).
Home pick and drop (at least for Bangalore).
Excellent customer support if you run into any battery issue.
Battery replacement is facilitated too. INR 599 (post warranty)
This is a Start up from Bangalore and they promised that soon the device will undergo change and the batteries will be available online and can be replaced on your own.
Are they going to release a new model?
@@naufalaj8380 the customer service said, though he didn't confirm anything on the date.
Thanks for your comment. Getting this, since Zinq seems to be Out of Stock. :)
My jio router shows a minimum requirement of 2.5A current. But this cuzor ups works only on 2A
@@खून्सटबिल्ला I think they have a 2.5A variant too
I use the zinq one, and then use a splitter cable to connect both my router and modem, works completely fine.
Can this trick harm the router or modem? I am planning to buy cuzor one
I’ve been using Zinq ups for my Airtel Xstream Fiber since past 1 month, and it’s giving me a backup of 5 straight hours. Pretty surprised because the size and price at which it comes it’s definitely a stellar deal. Go for it blindly.
Yeah this Zinq one has been performing very well.... as I said it's almost exactly the same as the Resonate one but that resonate one is Rs 500 more.
@@geekyranjit i have the resonate one with a tplink router and its performance is absolutely brilliant ive been getting 5 hours as well

Is ZINQ compatible with 12 volt 1.5 amp router?
Love this kind of videos. Please create this type of content often.
I am using Resonate for 6months, totally worth it works flawlessly for upto 4hrs, used with jio fiber. Resonate also has 9v for lower end routers
Still working?
Was waiting for a long time for this video
When is nord 2 full review coming? Waiting for it eagerly!
2 months ago I purchased quantum qhm 660 from flipkart for 999 and I don't have any complaints. It does the job.
This is pure coincidence. I have ordered Cuzor CZ-01A-12 Power Backup for Router today n @Geekyranjit came up with this video all of a sudden.
Would you recommend Cuzor over Resonant?
I was following you on this topic in Twitter....Glad you also made the video....I wanted to buy one..
6 month back I purchased Cuzor Mini 12V UPS from Amazon. First I decided to buy Resonate UPS. But overall rating and price was better with Cuzor UPS. One issue with Cuzor UPS is that it doesn't have an option to wall mount. Used a double sided tape and problem solved. Easily getting 4 hours of back up.
Just received my resonate ups 2 days ago...works like a charm
With my luminous ips, if power goes out the router doesn't reboot. So I guess I don't need one. 😎😎
This was on my mind to buy UPS or mini UPS for router. Thank you
Especially in Hyderabad rainy season faces power cut issues
Using Cuzor 12V 2A Mini UPS since July 2020 gives 4+ hours of backup and works without any issues. Nice design. But its little pricey compared to the Zinq one.
I didn't know devices like these even existed. Tysm
These products are really good but the lack of 2 port is major issue, I didn't took ISP's router so they provided me with an ONT and I purchased my own router, but both the products require power separately.
But as I have inverter installed at my home, there is no such issue !
I just got a fiber connection. good timing.
DRU - 8000 is much better choice, at least for me bcoz i have a 9v router and a 12v ONU. I have to power both simultaneously. I tested the ups with both of my devices connected and I kept it running for around 5 hours and as per the indicator I still had 40-50% power remaining. The best thing is that it costs same as the resonate and I didn't have to buy other splitter with it and it has 8000mah battery which is greater than the resonate I think.
Exactly dru8000 seems to be a better option.. Using 2 of em, 12v and 9v is such a blessing
Hi how's the status of the device now?
HOw much did it cost you then?
I’m using Cuzor UPS for a very long time now, it gives 4-5 hours of backup, previously with TPlink router, now with Tenda router (which came with @ACT Fibernet connection).
Cuzor is a good product too..
I am using it for past 9 months and it is damn good for router. I have 2 of them. For router with 18w power requirement it gives backup of 4-4.5 hrs and for 12w router backup is around 5.5-6 hrs.. Happy to buy it
which one u r using
@@kd_0311 the same which is in the video
I am using the Zinq one from last 3 months with my Airtel Nokia Modem , works well 4+ hours of backup.
I've been using quantum ups for routers and don't see any issues with it.. there is no lag time switching b/w the power..
I have been using Zinq ups with a wiffi router and a modem with the help of a dc splitter cable. Both devices require 12 V input. So dc splitter cables works as a parallel connection. It gives me around 4 hours of back-up with both the devices connected. Also, one needs to check the current requirement as well. For example, my router requires 1.5 Amps and my modem (onu device) requires 0.5 Amps. Total requirement 2 Amps. The Zinq ups output capability is 2 Amps max. So, it works fine.
my router is a 5V, 0.6A and modem is 12V, 0.5A... will this trick work with cuzor ups?
Great review as always, this thing sounds useful. But compared to basic UPS from microtek the cost is not justified.
Your voice look like Sachin Tendulkar 😅👍
Once again Ranjeet comes to save the day
I dont get this category of products.. a normal ups which is made for ups costs 2k for600 va one..why not use that instead of these?
Exactly. I too use desktop ups and its works like charm
Thank you. I use resonate. The one I received from Amazon initially didn't offer a back up despite being charged so sought a replacement which seems to be working fine.
I am looking for his and finally got it...I just ordered Zinq am already using zinq cooling pad it is good.
I think a full home inverter makes more sense.
It will cost like 10-12k for single battery + inverter and it can power lights , tv and fans as well
thanks for the video. I was looking for wifi ups and was confused. I have placed order for Zinq ups.
I was waiting for this gadget.. Thanks for making this :)
Using flipkart smartbuy router UPS for the past 8 month
No issues till now
Got it for just 999
As per installation Technician, if we use 3 AMP UPS for 2 AMP MODEM, the modem will get heated, ls it right or wrong. As per my knowledge, it will work fine without heating, will get more back up time..
It's a power bank... I use Microtek PC UPS 600VA...good one Ranjeet ji
The varity of reviews on this channel is so wide.
From the most expensive phone to a smart socket
For me, I bought a good USB type C to 12V-20V cable and used my Xiaomi 20000mAh power bank to act like the UPS. The power bank can still be charged via its other micro USB port. That will even power your 19V ASUS router easily!
Link for purchasing that cable?
wonderful guidance and review Ranjit! Thank you!
Have been using Zinq one to say it's a good product !!! It has lots of connectors too!
Rosonet am using for jio fiber it's working fine
Using Resonate ups for jiofiber. Works perfectly fine...
Hi Ranjit. Just switch off the battery saver option in that APC ups. When battery saver is on, the ups automatically switches off if the load is less than 30 watt.
I've upgraded my Gaming PC UPS and attached my old UPS to my router. The overkill ups for the router which can bacup 30 minutes for 1000W😁
Resonate ups is fair,its very resonate
+ Square Type Home UPS may lead to restarting of Routers/Modems, but the recent Sine-Wave Home UPS works fine, even we can't determine if Main Supply is OFF or ON.
Much needed device during this WFH/online classes times. Thanks for reviewing.
