So, we are starting to get fairly regular power outages of 9-10 hours, and my Mini-DC UPS, only lasts about 7 hours.

Do 5G Mi-Fi routers exist?

Then when we have extended power outages, can put my RAIN 5G SIM in it, and still have internet access. Also Mi-Fi routers typically run of of a USB power supply, so can supply power from a power bank, as required.

Unless I miss something, there are no 5G Mi-Fi routers, or routers that run of of USB power supplies.
 
They do, but they got very hot and were put in quarantine pending investigations ... are you trying to risk Covid contamination all over again?!

Well survived 3 Covid infections, so another is niether, here, nor there. No issues.

Besides, if you need Covid infection, a holiday in China would be a lot more productive.

Wouldn't a bigger Mini Dc UPS be a better option?
