Does the backup battery power the wireless portion or any of the Ethernet data? The manual was vague on this subject. Thanks. :)

On my unit, when I unplug the 120v cord, only the phone portions continues to work. The ethernet and wireless shut down.

No that I'm aware, when you Internet connection dies is because a problem with the server. The back up unit can maintain power in case of a blackout only.

If it is connected to your wireless router yes but if connected by cable you will need to connect to each pc to run backup on it

Note that the backup battery works only with the telephone lines, not with your Internet connections.

Thanks, If I can get/keep a connection I'll try downloading the driver. Already did the power saver. No luck for me there.

Depends on how much power you are drawing. I have my desktop PC, monitor, router and cable modem on battery backup. All I want is time to save what I am working on and shut down properly. Around 10 minutes would be fine with me, but I haven't tried to test it.

This radio does not have battery backup. If you have the radio set to get the time from the internet and you have wifi signal (or you are using Ethernet) the radio will automatically keep the time. If you unplug the radio or the electricity goes off, the radio will have to reset the time, date and so on. The radio will reboot and do it's setup thing when the power comes back on.

Hi. Wireless does not mean it is battery powered. Wireless refers to wifi video signal it transmits to a router. All wifi cameras needs to be plugged in for power.

Gee I bought it awhile ago now and it plugs into an outlet, but I checked the description on Amazon and it doesn't say there's a backup battery. There is a little red light though, so if it were to turn off, you'd know it is not working.

No, this allows you to power a compatible EnGenius router or access point using the ethernet cable you are already using to send data too/from the unit to your network. In other words, one less cable, or having to locate an outlet near the unit when its installed remote (in corporate installs)

Yes, this can be used as a backup source for an internet modem or router, but because it will not last long once the power is out, it makes more sense to us a APC UPS 350ES (or equivalent) backup battery/surge protector instead.

Is this question in reference to something else? I don't know what "wireless issue" you're talking about. And, no, the booster doesn't have to be plugged in to anything but an electrical outlet.

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

Agree with Bruno. I only need to plug it in for power...wifi connection is wireless

The device get power though the Ethernet cable that has a little block that basically "splices" two cables. That block is plugged in to the standard AC plug.You will have to provide the Ethernet cables, needing 2, and keep them short. By short I mean 75 feet from the power point to the EnGenius. You need to be rather familiar with networking IP rules, as the man is not very clear. I recommend updating the firmware from the EnGenius site before install, but that is just me. You should not have issues out of the box.

It has been a while since installed it but it uses a mall backup battery which I did test. I forget how that I tested it.

it has a coaxial connector. for ethernet hookup you are most likely would require a battery backup. if you are using it on a pc battery backup is your best bet, but that would run over $100.
