A UPS can be used with your home network equipment (modem, router). Oftentimes when power goes out our ISP is still delivering an internet connection. My network equipment is on a UPS, as are computers.

Thanks for bringing that up, as this is exactly what I use my UPS for. It's crazy how much we depend on having a WiFi/internet connection, and it shows its head during power outages.

UPS has saved the computer and my butt many, many times. Computers do not like sudden loss of power.

I remember the days when the low-level information could get corrupted. Sometimes you couldn't reboot the darn thing without low-level formatting, high-level formatting, reinstalling the operating system, and losing all the data on the hard drive.

Fun times!

I don't have my computer on my dedicated line with my Stereo system. It's all hooked up to a Richard Gray Power Station 1200 Custom. I think I'm good with that>

That's a great unit! However, it does not have an internal battery and cannot act as an UPS or keep your electronics running if your home completely loses power.
Adding a pure sine wave UPS will help in taking over if the power drops out completely for a few minutes, or safely shut down components if it's a total power failure.

I run all my vintage on a dedicated circuit, The computers has it's own UPS on another circuit. I don't have anything stereo that is newer that has presets. With a UPS with out batteries, I was just wondering if it has any line filtering capabilities or such.

Thank you everybody for your responses. The board members are fantastic.
