NOK 5G21 Gateway Battery Backup

How does the battery backup option work on the High Speed Home Internet NOK 5G21 Gateway device.  When the device gets unplugged or losses power, the device configures to battery operation, then the WiFi is disabled.  I also tried using Ethernet.  Neither connection method works. 

 

In the manual it says “During battery operation, neither Wi-Fi nor Ethernet connections are supported.” 

 

What is the use to have battery backup if WiFi nor Ethernet connections are supported?  How can I use the device during battery operation? 

  • what about for the KVD21? it has a usb c input power port using the 12v 1.2a supply from the adapter… not seeing a cable that goes from these mini-style UPS’s to a usb c type input

     

    thanks in advance

    Hola,

    I am bringing this discussion back to ask a few questions about the various backups that are discussed in this thread. Couldn't find a way to start a new discussion - hopefully someone will see this and reply.

    I just got a NOK 5G21 Gateway and am looking for a battery backup that will keep it running for several hours in a power outage. 

    I looked into the Shanqiu Mini UPS Battery Backup that is mentioned here, along with a more powerful one, also by Shanqui

    I am wondering if anyone has used either of those lately and if they work to not only keep the device powered in an outage, but also continue to allow the 5G signal to work.

    Any thoughts are appreciated.
