Without further guidance, I will probably crap shoot by installing a cheap UPS and see if that actually provides some survivability.

I’ve had a UPS on our Modem / Router for probably over a decade and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve received a call (over VoIP) from my Alarm system telling me we have no power. I’d say more often than not it stayed up. But it has certainly gone down with it too. And occasionally it’s gone down when there was power.

Down in MA we are on Fios. Fios rarely ever goes down.
