Runtime = usable capacity ÷ average draw. "(est.)" means no independent capacity test exists, so we assume 80% of rated capacity reaches the AC outlets. See the methodology. "Check price" links may be affiliate links.

What size do you need?

What size power station do I need for a Wi-Fi router / modem?

Look for at least 15 W of continuous AC output and 15 W of surge. For capacity, a Wi-Fi router / modem averages about 15 W, so 8 hours needs roughly 150 Wh of rated capacity and 24 hours roughly 450 Wh, assuming 80% of rated capacity reaches the outlets.

How long will a 1,000 Wh power station run a Wi-Fi router / modem?

About 2.2 days, if its inverter can handle the 15 W startup surge: roughly 800 Wh reaches the outlets, divided by an average draw of 15 W.

Which power station can run a Wi-Fi router / modem for a full day?

Of the 15 models we track, the smallest that runs a Wi-Fi router / modem for 24 hours on one charge is the DJI Power 1000. Larger models run it longer; see the table above.
