I have a WAX204 which I need to plug into a UPS. It runs okay if the UPS is plugged into AC power. However, whenever the power goes out, the router reboots and gets stuck in a boot loop. The loop hap...
I had thought it was the UPS power
It must be, but probably not the amount of power. More likely the quality of the power.

Thank you for your response. Yes, I am using the original adapter that came with my order.

12V, 1.5A AC/DC. Including PAV12V25 in the search string might help if you are looking to purchase one.
Is the switch or router connected to the AP powered up during your testing?
You mean 12V instead of 2V? The original power adapter is 12V, 1.5A
AP is access point, right? Yes, the router is connected to the AP powered up during the testing.

yes, sorry for the confusion...
