C7100V compatible backup ups devices
I'm looking for a compatible backup UPS device that is compatible with C7100V. When I do a google search it takes me to Amazon to an APC CP12142LI unit. When I read the documentation it listed compatible routers and the C7100V is not listed as supported Netgear router. Does anyone have any suggestions? I live in South Florida and during the summer I get almost daily strong thunderstorms plus hurricanes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well you don't have to network connect the UPS to the modem. Just the power supply would be connected to the UPS and it would supply power to the modem for the limited time frame that the UPS supports. You don't have to connect anything else.
I have a UPS system as well. I have my back up 2.4Ghz only router and the ISP modem only power adapters connected to the UPS. I get about an hour of uses before the UPS dies. I don't any anything else connected to the UPS as that would drain the UPS faster.
