When boondocking, we typically run our generator about 2 hours at a time, once in the morning and once in the evening. Our three Jetpacks/hotspots (two unlimited, one 20GB limited) will run 4-5 hours each on their internal batteries, so we just switch connections during the day between generator runs when needed. Our two Dell 17" laptops each run 3-4 hours on a charge, and we have spare batteries for both that we swap as needed, recharging everything during the next regular gen run. The only Internet related device we normally run directly off the coach batteries is our MaxAmp RV cell signal booster/repeater when needed for reliable service. The amplifier draws a bit under 2 amps, so it doesn't load the batteries very much. We do have a 400 watt PSW inverter on board, but rarely need to use it.
