this should be fine on a regular inverter with ups functionality assuming you have one already?
my experience with basic ups has been quite bad but that should work fine as well though the load is very little even for basic ups you get for 3-4K. i guess get the basic apc ups. @Nishant has good experience with them. microtek should work fine as well. though you might need to put a bit more load on it. some ups shut down if they do not detect enough load.

I've been running my whole network rack (containing multiple network devices, RPis, HDDs, etc.) on a Microtek Sinewave inverter since ages now. Works fine. And it is not even on UPS mode.
Most cheap computer UPS have the problem of auto shutdown when load is too low. So it will not work for powering routers unless one specifically knows that the auto shutdown feature is not present in the UPS.

Get this if the total load is less than 40W. Great for routers and low power devices. Switch over is smooth between power and ups mode without device reboot in power cuts although very sensitive devices might reboot as Transfer Time is not the best. i tried around 4-5 routers and none of them restart in case of power cut.
One additional and important benefit is it used standard 12V battery, so once battery is dead or weak , we can just replace with new one for around Rs. 800 without much hassle, so probably can use it for long time.

You can check on the back of power adapter.
It will say something like 12v=1A or 12V=1.5A . Also you will have 2 Voltages over there AC(Input) and DC(Output)
You need to look for the second one which is output
The UPS you are buying should have at least equal to the Ampere(1A or 1.5A) of the adapter or above it(like 2A on the UPS) is also fine.
The one you have selected should work for you as its 2A and 12V. Many routers follow this standard. But better to check sometimes as in a rare case we have 17Volts too
