AI Summary
Keeping a home network alive during a power outage requires backup hardware and planning. While a laptop can stay on using its battery, most networking equipment—such as Wi‑Fi mesh units and routers—shuts down when the power fails. By adding an uninterruptible power supply or similar backup solution for the router, users can maintain internet connectivity until power returns. This approach ensures that essential online services remain accessible even when the main electricity supply is interrupted.
