Can anyone recommend a unit to power a wimax setup, with a Netgear broadband router for load-shedding period of 2 hrs.

Depends on how much power they draw. If both together draw less than 20W then a normal 650VA/1KVA UPS should work fine for up to 3 hours. Hardly need an inverter.

ya, so I guess the question is what sort of power does a Wimax setup use?

I couldn't quote figure exactly, but I would be surprised if it came to 30-40W together.

One of my wifi routers with 3x 100mw interfaces draws 12W, can't see that a wimax connection would draw more than that.
