In this way, you can make UPS for your WiFi router very easily. Only one problem you may face. When a power cut occurs, the router will reboot once because of slow switching of the relay & power bank takes half a second to power up. Still, it is better to wait 2-3 minutes for Internet rather than 1-2 hour no Internet.
Power backup time
Back up time of the UPS depends on the battery mAh of the power bank. General 10000 mAh power bank will give you 3-4 hours of power backup very easily.
