          You need to have the 2100 WAN connected to something valid so it can reach the pkg servers to install the latest version.

                to prevent this kind of problem in the future I am looking for a UPS compatible with the NUT package on the 2100. is there a recommended UPS?

                  There isn't a Netgate recommended UPS.

                  If you ask in the UPS tools sub though I'm sure you'll get some.

                      UPSs are all different, but basically all the same.
                      So, if you have to chose, chose the one that works best - not with you, but with the software that is going to use the UPS : the NUT package.
                      In other words : check out this list : Hardware compatibility list and based upon what you find, make your decision.

                      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                      Edit : and where are the logs ??
