Hi, looking for advice on an Inverter to run my Foxtel Box, 4g Modem (12v 1amp) and Asus WiFi Router (19v max 1.75amp), those are the spec's I know, however not sure of the power usage for the Foxtel IQ4. I do not intend to use the inverter for any other device. Thanks.

Hi Weven
I think the first two items will run directly off your 12V supply with a suitable cord. The router could be run off this "https://www.jaycar.com.au/150w-car-laptop-power-supply/p/MP3472" You just set the switch to the 19V position. Probably the most efficient use of your power. Jaycar will also provide the other cords.
However if you want to run a small 240V inverter then any above, say 100W PURE SINE WAVE would be OK. But the smallest available seems to be about 300W which would be OK. Possibly the standby losses might be greater.
You could look on ebay for Australian suppliers.

We have everything running off 12v. Had to buy a Canon cbc-e6 car battery charger which cost $200. That hurt a bit, but less things to worry about if you can stick to 12v.
