As is kind of obvious, I work a lot on my computers. I have people here that live on theirs, literally!
Since we are on one of those "24 Hour, A-circuits" we do not have many power outages. However on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Ede-Norte people "lend" the circuits to electrical contractors for the installation of major connections and big stuff like huge transformers. So the lights DO go out.
I can put up with it, although I might lose my modem for a few moments while it resets, but one of my people here is in on-line sales and he cannot afford to have interruptions in his conversations since he loses contact and $$....
So, back in December, and for my own convenience, I purchased a nice UPS unit from Amazon and when it got here I plugged it into the wall socket and then plugged the modem and my wifi transmitter into it.
BUT WHEN THE POWER JUST WENT OUT A FEW MINUTES AGO, I LOST MY INTERNET CONNECTION. WHY? I THOUGHT THAT THE UPS WOULD BE FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING. WAS I WAY OFF THE MARK??
Kindly and not so kindly suggestions will be appreciated. (No I can't do that with the UPS unit, it won't fit up "there" ....but I know what you mean.)
