Almost all units these days are Active PFC.

 

Using an APC UPS unit and unless I am taxing the hell out of the PC, no issues with the UPS during power cuts.

Thanks a lot.How about luminous, microtek,intex ups?Basically looking for a locally serviceable ups.Btw you use 800va or 1000va? Edited by Sanj

^ I have only used APC UPS in the past decade, reliable and no complaints. I use 800VA but you should purchase one depending on your requirements / hardware specification(s).

I am using a Luminous 900va UPS cum Inverter that powers a few tubes and fans of my house ALONG WITH my PC (see specs in the sig). If I run just a fan and my PC, I can even game with my GTX 970 ON MAX LOAD :)

 

Any more load like a tube and two fans, etc., and the PC works just fine, but I can't game. If I try to game with tubes and two fans on inverter, my system shuts down.

 

Even after it shuts down, I can turn my PC back on and do regular stuff like working on MS Word and browsing using Firefox, watching a movie, etc., but NOTHING GPU INTENSIVE :)

 

Edit: Oh and by the way, my Luminous 900va inverter is connected to this...

It's a SF Sonic 180 Amp battery :) I can easily game on this for 4 to 5 hours nonstop without power, but I try to avoid that :)

Well, it's not specifically for my PC. It's powering my 2BHK home, but since it's just me and my wife, we barely use 2 tubes and 2 fans at any given time.

 

Last time I did some research as to HOW MUCH WATTS a 900va can provide AT ONCE, I calculated somewhere around 550 to 600 watts. So you can use the calculation that a 900va can provide CONTINUOUS 550+ watts if so desired by your PC, given of course you have a battery big enough to sustain that kind of "requirement" by the UPS.

 

So, you can calculate and come to the conclusion that an 800va can provide a CONTINUOUS AND STEADY 500+ watts and a 1000va will definitely provide UPWARDS OF CONTINUOUS 600+ watts. The duration of such "sustenance" will be dictated by how big of a battery you have with that UPS.

 

If you don't wanna game for longer periods of time during any power failure and only want 15 or 20 mins of backup so you can save your game and shutdown your PC, then even a small battery (that comes with standard APC UPS builtin) will also suffice :)

No. It won't work only by itself.

 

MTNL uses ADSL2 protocol, so you either need a Wifi router that has ADSL2 BUILT-IN OR you need a standard ADSL2 router, connect the MTNL line to that router and then connect that router to the above mentioned TPLink router :)

 

So, if you have a regular ADSL2 router lying around, then you can go ahead and purchase the above wifi router, connect your MTNL link to the ADSL2 router, and then connect that router to the above wifi router :)

 

But it is always recommended (for MTNL/BSNL) to just get an ADSL2 Wifi router to reduce clutter and unexpected errors, etc.

I actually want to replace my mtnl router with anew one. Since i have to pay rs.50 per month for using the router given to me by mtnl. I need a adsl 2 router as you say. So i can minimize space by using a single device that'll act as a .modem+router & which has that mtnl line slot on it.

 

I need one with two antennas. So are there any tp link or other such models out there?

Dispatched! :(

But I'll return it if i go with BSNL. There is also another ISP by a private org., if i get that then i may not. What else can I do with this particular router for which i've placed an order?

Any other recommendation on the router, now keeping BSNL in mind? 1k-1.5k budget.

You can always use that as an wifi extender. To increase the range

If you can extend the budget a bit you can go for the following router-modem unit.

 

Alternately as suggested by Anuj, use it as a range extender in tandem with the modem (provided by the ISP).
