- 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
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.
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.
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 RUclipsr. 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.
Your videos could be much better if you script what you are talking about instead of going off the cuff as its too hard to follow you when you are all over the place with no continuous chain of thought. Just a bit of constructive criticism.
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.
Waiting for your z fold 3 review 😁😁
LOL don't have the device with me.... so the review will take a long time :)

Get a BUCK-CONVERTER, set it for 9v output, and connect it to any 12v source
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?

I always love these type of content from GeekyRanjit !! ❤
I Hope you are Fine !! 😀
Your Video but please do make it simple, just a suggestion
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?
Thank you so much for making quality content 🤠.
Thanks for the review on oakter. I was almost going to purchase it from cred.
for 500 i felt it was a steal
When is nord 2 full review coming? Waiting for it eagerly!
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 have 5 v wifi will this power bank work for my wifi please reply
I'm using Cuzor (12V), it's small(palm size) It's great....₹1700

Hi Ranjith 👋
I bought Zinq UPS after watching your video. There is a small issue with it, actually whenever power goes off...There is LOSS OF SIGNAL(But power is on) , even after connecting this UPS .because of this there is a lag of min one to one n half minute to switch UPS power. Any solution for this?
I am facing the same issue with Airtel Xtrem fiber. Let me know if you get any fix for the same.
Was actually looking for something like this!
Best versatile Indian reviewer out there!
On this topic it would hardly take 5-6min of video which you stretched it to 12min unnecessarily. You were just 'Beating around the bush' no direct answer. Faltu ka yaha waha ka bate.
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
Does it supports jiofiber
Have been using Resonate for the past 1 year. Super good product. 6 to 8 hours backup.
Bro for jio router will it work
Rosonet am using for jio fiber it's working fine
With my luminous ips, if power goes out the router doesn't reboot. So I guess I don't need one. 😎😎
What about quantum UPS ?
I'm using Resonate for Jio Fiber router. Absolutely reliable. Great backup.
How many hours ?

Why you need ups for router I connected my router with inverter problem solved.
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?
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.
Resonate comes under different power output even split cable.. I am using Resonate with split cable to power my wifi router n modem… Resonate is best
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 ..
Connected my wifi router to inverter
RIP 🪦 wifi ups
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??
Why we need ups specially for WiFi if we have home inverter already?? Does it make sense??🙄 My WiFi 24hrs running if lights cut no problems becz it already plugged in a board which is directly linked to a inverter...so why we need another specific ups💁
Exactly i also use invertor for router
Thanks for these different from the rest tech videos, thanks a lot Ranjit sir, we can count on your reviews blindly 😃🙌
You missed the best of lot, The Cuzor 12v 2a
For WFH scenario what we actually need is an inverter. Single solution to all problems.
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
too much talk in 12 m 29 s, no substance
Ranjit sir says "Thanks for watching" in the end of his videos
I reply "Thanks for your wonderful videos" !! 😃🙏🙌🙌Simply the best
Your voice look like Sachin Tendulkar 😅👍
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.
@@pappi3 for 2 devices or one
@@sanjusamanta7308 2 devices.
@@pappi3 damn..! Thanks for the heads up
I use the Cuzor. And it keeps the router ON for 5 hours with 2.4Ghz if electricity goes out.
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 ????
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’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
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
thanks for your feed back review. I am going to buy this ups. I just need backup min of 2 hours.
Is ZINQ compatible with 12 volt 1.5 amp router?
If you are planning to but Samsung Z Fold3 - then wait -
Pros. - Good Built consedring it's a foldable, Excellent Processor, Top Notch Display (120hz sAMOLED on both displays), Premium Design, S Pen Support, Price Is Lesser Compared to Z Fold2 BUT..
Cons. - Still Too Costly For A Middle Man, Camera is not up to the mark if you are paying 1800$, Battery life is Very Very Poor!! You can consider buying Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Samsung Tab S7 FE And Buds 2 =
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
Resonate UPS batteries won't last long. I purchased this in Dec 2016 from Amazon. After year later I had to replace the batteries myself. Removing body is not easy.
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 😢
I have converted my ambrane powerbank to ups by using 10 rupees.
How? Any guide?
Please share how you did it ?
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 have router which is connected to modem, in this case will it provide uninterrupted wifi connection?
If the router and modem are two separate things, then no, you will have to buy a ups for both of them
Great review as always, this thing sounds useful. But compared to basic UPS from microtek the cost is not justified.
If you're using a 5V wifi router then you can use USB to 5V cable and connect your power bank to the wifi router. Costs around 250₹
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 !
Using Resonate ups for jiofiber. Works perfectly fine...
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
You've missed Cuzor CZ-01A which is really works good for me.
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?
Just buy a powerbank which can charge itself and provide power to connected devices simultaneously for Rs. 800-1200 and get a USB to whatever type of cable router uses or jerry-rig by connecting a old USB Type A cable's power lines with router cable's power lines..
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.
Are you testing upcoming Motorola smartphones ?? will we get early handson on channel
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..
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
Using Flipkart Smartbuy UPS... Best value for money... Currently it's out of stock I think ... You can also checkout Quantum Ups
Both are value for money @ 1000rs
The zinq and Flipkart smartbuy one are same product i think. Same design sticker preference even same text. Just different brand name and model number. Flipkart router is cheaper maybe coz they own the platform so they don't have to commission.
@@AmareshChoudhary24 Yes... Even Quantum QHM-660 looks same... Just rebranded
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.
Can i use this with TP Link 12V 1A ?
Yes
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?
Its best to buy a 1900 rs microtek legend 650, supports multiple devices and yes it supports wifi devices only (No zero load shutdown thing). Works flawlessly.
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

Zinq 12V 2A UPS Router - Using since last 5 months - it works great
truly speaking I need for 30mins so I think zinq is better
I brought Li ion batteries , a bms and made one myself about 600 rupees, you can also get a usb 5v to 12v/9v converter cable based on your needs and use it from powerbank. These branded ups are just too expensive.
I make these ups for local stores
There is actually big demand for it
For information these on online some of them are charging u about 30 % more then it cost
I suggest check if manufacturers say if it uses buck or boost converter
Buck converter is recommended for device that need CC ,CV such as dual band routers
For information many 20kmah power bank support ups mode 👀
5v to 12v boost converter = 12v ups 👀
12 2a can be used for upto 3a without any issues
Because rated power in routers is max rating 12 v 1A can power up up to 2A
Great video
yea zinq ups is better since it is priced around 1499 at amazon
Common home inverters that come these days works fine.
No need to buy these.
I am Happy With DIY UPS..😊
It is advisable to fully drain the UPS battery every 1-2 weeks to keep the batteries healthy.
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..
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?
When can we expect videos on samsung fold series from you sir
wifi should come with a inbuilt battery
I have 5 routers in my home and all of them are connected to invertor
Please make a proper review video on OnePlus Nord 2
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..
