Seems to me the power supply in the truck is your best bet. The router probably runs on DC at relatively low power compared to something like a car stereo, and the truck's battery would make as good an all-weather UPS as anything I can think of. The key questions are, what are the power requirements of your router, and how long might it need to run without starting the truck?

Right now we are trying to figure out how to power all of it with a UPS, etc that can survive freezing temps and very hot temps that the inside of the truck will be subjected to. I know some of you have provided wireless inside buses for students and other applications. Any thoughts on how to handle the varied environment?
