Firstly Techno 24 reminds us that for this, the internet in your home must be optical or autonomous. Operators now provide either GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) connection services or battery-powered equipment that guarantees several hours of operation after a power outage.

But the presence of GPON technology or batteries in the operator’s equipment does not guarantee uninterrupted Internet if you use a router and terminal, they also need to be recharged. A power bank and a special adapter will help you with this.

Here’s a quick guide on what you need to do to prepare to connect your gear to a power bank.

1. Check your network connection: Make sure your internet cables are part of a continuous network. Verify this with your ISP if necessary.
2. Supply of fiber optic terminals: If you are connecting via fiber optic, you will also need to power the terminal. This can be done similarly to how you power a router.
3. Determine voltage requirements: Determine the voltage required to power the router; usually 9 or 12 volts. This information is usually indicated on the back of the device.

Connecting router to power bank

1. Choose the right power bank: Most standard power banks provide 5 volts, while routers usually require 9 or 12 volts. Inconsistency in voltage can cause the router to stop working.
2. Use an adapter cable: Power banks do not have the special DC inputs needed to power the router, so you will need to buy a special adapter cable with a USB connector on one end and a 5.5/2.5 mm power plug on the other. The cable should have a built-in boost module to convert the 5 volts to the 9 or 12 volts required by your router. If you are using optical Internet, buy two such cables: one for the router and one for the subscriber terminal.
3. Plug everything in and test it out: Connect the adapter to the power bank and the router. Make sure the router is on and working properly. It is best to do this when there is light to make sure everything is working.

Which power bank to choose for a router

As we have already mentioned, a regular power bank that produces 5 volts will not suit you. It is better to find and buy a powerful power bank that can charge a device with a voltage of 5, 9 and 12 volts. Such power banks are more versatile and can simplify the connection process. Yes, they are more expensive, but this is exactly what you need and such an investment is guaranteed to pay off.

Therefore, before purchasing a power bank, carefully read its characteristics. Focus on batteries with a capacity of at least 20,000 mAh – this will allow you to simultaneously connect a router and a terminal, which is necessary for the operation of the optical Internet.

By following these steps and using the appropriate hardware, you can ensure that your Wi-Fi router is powered during power outages. This will ensure that you can communicate and access important information even when there is no light at home.
