What is needed to connect a router to a power bank: detailed instructions

There are several ways by which you can get the Internet during power outages / collage with photos from UNIAN and ua.depositphotos.comWhen the lights are turned off often and for a long time, high-speed Internet can be almost the only consolation. If you do not want to lose access to the network, you will need a wire to connect the router to the power bank – you can buy it in Ukraine or, if you want to save money and can wait, order it from China.

During blackouts, you can stay connected to the Internet by taking just a few steps. But, of course, first you need to find out from your provider whether he can ensure the operation of the network during power outages.

How to connect a Wi-Fi router to a PoverbankMany users in the private sector have fiber-optic Internet and a network cable connected to a subscriber terminal (media converter), which, in turn, connects to a router, and this device distributes the network.

In this case, you will need to connect two devices to the power bank – a media converter and a router. For this, you will need to choose two adapter cables with appropriate connectors (they can be of different types – USB-DC, Type-C, USB – mini USB) and voltage (V).

Experts noted that the voltage of the cables should correspond to the voltage indicated on the devices:

“For example, the bottom of the router might say 12V, 9V, or 5V, and the voltage of the media converter is usually 9.”

If a network cable simply enters your home, then you will need to use only one wire to connect the router to the power bank. In this case, you can do it in a simpler way – directly connect the cable to the computer and use the Internet.

How to connect a router to a power bank – nuancesWhen you choose the necessary cables, an unexpected problem may arise – your “can” may not fit. Please note that to power two devices at once, you will need a power bank with a power of at least 22.5W.

However, even such a “bank” may not “extract” the work, if your router is from “fresh” models and has a voltage of 12. In this case, you will need to splurge on a power bank with a power of 50 to 65W.

Is it possible to connect a router to a power bank when there is no light, we figured it out. And now it is worth paying attention to the fact that you can get wireless Internet in an easier way, if you do not have electricity, but at the same time you have a charged laptop.

To do this, you need to take two steps:

• Connect the media envelope to the “bank”.
• Connect the network cable to the laptop.

Then the Internet can be distributed from the “laptop” itself.

Earlier, UNIAN explained how to charge a laptop through a power bank. As it turned out, even an old “laptop” can be fueled through a “bank”.
