    Default UPS for NBN Modem

    I have FTTC NBN, with the standard NBN modem supplied, and using my own router (Netgear D7800 – AC2600). I'm after recommendations for a UPS. The UPS will be used supply:

    NBN Modem - 38W (240V @ 156mA on the box)
    Netgear Router - 13W (avg as quoted by testing)
    Synology DS218j NAS - 17.5W (quoted by Synology power during access)

    Total just under 70W..

    I was planning to get something like a 1000W UPS to give me about an hour of uptime for the devices.

    One thing is, most of the UPS at around $250 to $300 run a Modified Sinewave, and the Pure Sine Wave ones are much more expensive. My concern is will the NBN modem be OK with the Modified Sinewave UPS? The Router and NAS have a wall wart power supply, so not so much worried about them running for up to an hour on MSW.

    Just an update. I ended up buying a CyberPower CP1300EPFCLCDa-AU PFC Sinewave 1300VA/780W UPS, $357 delivered. I mainly bought it to protect my NAS, but wanted it to handle the NBN modem and Router as well. With that small load (5% of rated load) it tells me I get around 70-75 minutes on the UPS.

    I installed it and last night it did it's job for the first time in under two weeks. I was transferring files to the NAS, from a portable HDD (predicted 25 min job) when the power went off for about 20 seconds. I was pretty happy because I've had similar occurances scrag my HDD on another NAS before. And not only that, this is my third NBN modem, the other two replaced after a power failure, and probably power spike.
