When I lose power, is the switch-over to the UPS instantaneous? My power often flickers, i.e. goes out for less than a second, but this is sufficient to cause my router and cable TV box to reboot. Will the UPS prevent this? null

The UPS will switch instantly between power-lose of power-power and anything plugged into it will not lose power. The only caveat to the items plugged in to the UPS exceed its power ratings.
