Recovering from a power outage MK80
So I supposedly upgraded from an apple time capsule. That is about 10 years old. If not older. This thing always recuperated from a power outage. Without me having to do anything. My new MK83 has to ...
power outages are great at wrecking electronics.
A cheap UPS might not be a bad idea becaues the MK system is rather expensive.
I bought one after getting a rather expensive router wrecked from storms.
I don't know of a way to delay the start
I’ve actually been looking. And have no idea what to get. Don’t want to over do it. I would just need something to keep the router going for about 12 hours. And the modem. If I need to keep that going to. Anything you can recomend or point towards? I can somewhat handle myself with the hardware. But electricity and plumbing are not my thing.. lol.
Your power goes out for 12 hours? wow.
Look at the amps/volts on your modem and your router.
so take your volts x amps. That gives max wattage it uses.
and add it to the modems.
Then x12 (12 hours). that'll give you how many watts you need.
12 hours is quite a while to cover. I have a smaller 400 watt usp just to cover periods where its out for shorter periods.
