I would pair with your brand choice of at least a gigabyte modem. If you have a less capable modem, you may want to get the slightly less capable 1750 series router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need to research and think about exactly what you are intending to accomplish. Why do you need a battery backup modem? Typically these modems are called Gateways and are used if you have Voice over Internet telephone service. The battery provides a few minutes for you to place an emergency call in a power outage. That's it. IF the internet provider also loses service then it will have to send a signal to refresh your modem. It can't do that until you remove the battery, refresh the modem, replace the battery. All in all not very convenient as I found out. IF you want backup power for your modem and router then a UPS is the answer. (Uninterruptible Power Supply). It's actually a great item to have to protect both the units. You can get many inexpensive UPS's to back up the modem and router. I like TrippLite but APC is another well known brand. If you add a UPS to a Gateway modem with a backup battery, remove the backup battery from the modem. It's unnecessary and will prevent automatic reset.
