Chances are that by the time I have a power surge that I am unlucky enough to have it affect my equipment, it will be time to buy a new one anyway. For $100-150 router, it isn't worth the bother and hassle. Personally, I don't bother unless I have some expensive gear in use. Even some of the ones you see at Walmart now have ethernet or coax power filters. There are power filters for that kind of thing too. The power surge that caused problems probably come over the cable line itself, not the AC for the home. That might be more work and cost to implement than just buying a new router now and then. They might protect your equipment but will require being wired to a real ground connection. Or buy ethernet inline power surge filters. That way even if the device is out of warranty, it can be easily replaced. But nothing can really stop lightning.īuy power strips with replacement warranty for attached equipment. So, protecting against power surges and other forms of electrical anomalies is definitely something a UPS is great at doing. It actually electrified the very cabling itself - the air was so charged. The even was so powerful, it actually fried the electronics that he had physically unplugged or plugged into surge protectors/UPSes. There was a fascinating article from Sean Gallagher about a lightning strike that struck a tree in front of his house during a lightning storm. Still, as far as preventing another occurrence like this? A UPS would certainly help, but I don't believe there's anything that can actually protect you from a lightning strike.


I can definitely personally recommend CyberPower as a trusted brand. I use three UPSes in my apartment from CyberPower (NAS/Router, Desktop and HTPC) all with varying levels of battery life and capacity. I still have my old router as a backup, and it's working fine for now, but the reason I replaced it was that it was flaking out with the wireless.Īny tests I could perform to try to determine what really happened here? With no wired connectivity, I can't even access router's config page.ĪPC is the brand that most people on Ars seem to recommend (for good reason) when it comes to UPSes, but I myself am partial to CyberPower.

Is this possible? Anyone ever encountered something like this? So I am thinking that something basically fried the wired ports. In fact, going into Windows, it looked like the jack was dead.like the wire had no signal/power. Once the cable modem reconnected, the wireless internet returned, but the two PCs I have wired to the router, never got their connection back. Today, there was a brief power outage (couple of seconds).long enough to restart all the PCs in the house, and it also did something to the router. The wired ports have been flaking in and out. So hot, I put one of those laptop coolers under it (effective).Ģ. This is a great wi-fi router and the wireless performance around the house is great with it.no complaints here, fast connections, very stable, strong signal etc.īut there are some concerning things with this device.ġ. So I recently replaced by wireless router with a pretty highly recommended Asus RT-N66R (variant of the RT-N66U sold at Best Buy).
