    It doesn’t sound like you need a UPS. It sounds like you needed automatic voltage regulator.

    It’ll condition the power so it’s clean, and if it’s not clean it’ll cut the power off.

    Many good UPS’s have a voltage regulator built in, but then you have the hassle the battery and everything. Up to you depends on what’s easier to find for you locally












  • Pros:

    • You get your hands dirty
    • You learn a lot
    • You have total control of everything

    Cons:

    • It takes a lot of time to do anything the first time
    • You’re always going to be tweaking something
    • Things are going to break at random times when it’s inconvenient

    No matter what you do, have an extra cheap open WRT router you can throw in when something breaks.

    I for one like unifi, I would recommend their dedicated router product rather than an all-in-one device. You can always run there management software in a docker container when you need it

    Happily the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands are unlicensed and open for public use.

    Nothing our OP said indicated they wanted to run WiFi, but even if they did, they could choose a less noisy channel.

    Nothing in the click through agreement talked about radios, or bands.

    Any body could turn their phone into a cellular hotspot, or have a starlink hotspot, and that is nobody elses business. This is no different.

    Letting the network dictate what you can run in your own home is MaBell levels of authoritarianism, but more to the point, its unenforceable ( You can always take a page out of how to hotspot book - Router runs a always on vpn and the lan side only goes out over the VPN, so DPI just seeds the router, and the TTL is as expected)
