I want to add a UPS Battery Backup to my wifi and Satellite equipment and I really can't figure out how big of a unit to get. I have been doing some internet research and since I have a very limited knowledge of power terminology I am lost even when I see some sort of formula to calculate the load requirements. My instinct tells me that the load requirement is pretty low but I still want to figure out how much I will need.
I should have 4 devices to connect to the UPS battery. An Asus wireless router, an 8 port network switch, the cable modem, and the Direct TV satellite stuff (not the receiver at the tv, I think this is the stuff that connects to the dish itself). I have another UPS that is connected to my PC and Monitor, I just want to add UPS backup in my communications closet. My thinking that the power requirements for this stuff is pretty low. The pricing on these thinks start at about $40 for low load ones that look like a fancy surge protector and go way on up to over $1000 for the higher end units. I'd like to stay toward the lower end.
Thanks,
