Your router and the fibre box both need power. The simplest fix is a mini UPS or small battery on the router and ONT. For longer cuts, add a 4G router or a phone hotspot with a power bank as a backup. Check that your fibre box is also covered, since a router alone will not work without it.
Key takeaways
- Power both the router and the fibre box.
- A mini UPS gives hours of Wi-Fi.
- 4G router is a backup that works without fibre.
- Phone hotspot plus a power bank is the cheapest start.
