You might have better luck , but I have tried running my firewall and cable modem of a standard grade UPS (APC) but it doesn't work so well.
Consumer grade UPS's are not continuous battery backup but just route the utility power straight through to the devices and also keep the battery charged up. If there is a power interruption the UPS quickly switches to the battery and relies on the capacitors of the PC's power supply to keep the PC alive long enough for the switchover to occur. I think the capacitors in the small devices like a router are just not sufficient to keep the router alive while the UPS switches over.
I’ve run nothing but consumer grade APC UPS’s for years and never ha an issue with any equipment plugged into them, routers, switches, voip boxes, a/v system.
I replace batteries every few years, and they do fail occasionally, but over all good.
