Will this surge protector work for a modem/ router for wireless telephone and wireless internet? Will it slow down my wireless internet speed?

You can plug your phone, cable and powered devices into this for full surge protection. It does not slow your speed or affect your devices in any way. The surge protection is a passive device and has no effect on the equipment. If your're using DSL then plug the phone line coming into the house into this device first then use the supplied cable to continue the connection to your modem. If you have a surge in the power or a possible lightning strike near the house then this device kicks in to absorb the extra energy. This may not protect a direct lightning strike so I also use a Supco SCM150 Surge Protector on the main breaker box of the house as added protection.

I have all my electronic equipment plugged into my surge protector, including my modem and router. Doesn't affect my speed one iota!

Hi J. BolusIt is not recommended to put a Linksys Powerline device behind a powerstrip or surge protector. Although there have been users that were able to successfully make it work behind surge protectors, we still recommend plugging Powerline adapters directly into a power outlet.

Yes, that's what I use it for. Haven't had a major test yet, but I bought this to replace a Monster unit that was more expensive and, after 8 years, allowed a sufficient surge to disable my flat screen tv. I have had good luck with a small Tripp Lite surge protector that I carry for a laptop and associated electronics (LCD projectors, etc.)

Not recommended. This is not a surge protector. It built for clearn electronic, and specifily build for each Hifi component such as pre amp, powered amp, dvd, TV, receiver etc. I recomend an addition monster cable power surge.Dan T

If I understand your question, no.1) This is a dimmer, designed for dimmable devices such as lights. It could very well fry the power supply in your modem.2) If you are trying to power cycle a down modem while you are away, you will have no way to get to your device if your internet connection is down.A solution might involve an intelligent controller such as an ISY994 and an ApplianceLinc. You could have a program that periodically pinged an outside address and turned the ApplianceLinc off and then on if the site is unreachable.

yes it would . but it seems it is the wrong choice for a TV a high tech surge protector made for TVs and computers seem a better choice . and really good ones come with guanrantees against damage by power surges . and believe me a relatives house was hit by lighting and with no surge protector the computer caught on fire and died.

I believe it would cover most surge protector cords. I have a treadmill hooked up thru this and it is a very heavy duty cord.

Well, I guess the question was - IF a surge appears on line and burns up the protective circuitry, will this item still continue to provide power to equipment connector to it? The problem with it doing so is that the equipment hooked to it now unprotected. I'm looking for an answer myself, so more info from owners is welcome..

It has telephone and data jack protection ports. I'm not sure if the protector will strip off the DSL. Most likely it won't.

Yes. But again you need a minimum of two. One hooked up to your router and another wherever you want to use it. Also make sure you don't plug the product to a power surge protector.

This should protect phone line to modem. Should be no different than a jack by means of compatibility. As R. Darst said, I cannot confirm it does either, but would suspect it does.

The power cord on this device is located at the top where the dark gray on/off switch is located. The Surge Protector works as a device that prevents important computer data from being lost during power outtages, and, helps your computer, PC or laptop, work better at all times, especially the wifi signal that one uses on their laptop computer. I've had this device for over a month and it works great. It has prevented my wifi signal from being lost on a semi-constant basis like it has done in the past with my other laptops that I've used.

Actually, that's a good question! In other words, once a surge is encountered does, #1: the device re-function as an electrical line connection?, and, #2: does it re-function as a surge protector? I honestly can't for sure answer either one of those questions. I usually use these devices, in-line with other surge protection, and once in a while use them in the field, for my laptop computers as the primary surge protection. So, insofar as the field work is concerned, I really don't know if I've ever encountered a surge to test the efficiency of the protection, ie re-function of the device?!

This will work with any modem / router. Just connect this to your modem / router with an Ethernet cable and you're good to go. I use it with my Verizon Fios Wireless Router. The Verizon wireless is downstairs and this is upstairs. Having two wireless networks in the house is a blessing. If one network has heavy traffic we switch to the other.

. I use it to protect a 20 Amp 120 volt circuit that has equipment prone to lightning surges. I do not know if approved for house service protection. Ask a pro-electrician .

This power strip has minor surge protection. I would not depend on this to protect anything important. I've used it plugged into another surge protector and then used the ends to plug the wall warts for things like my cell phone, tablet, and laptop which don't all like to plug into normal power strips so easily. This is good for devices that have fat wall wart transformers.

A neat little surge protector, ideal for any appliance that has a computer control e.g. microwave, refrigerator/freezer, wine cooler, laptop, iPad, iPhone etc. Although my home is protected by an all-house electrical surge protection unit (we live in a very high lightning probability area), I have also used specialized surge protectors for TV and Audio equipment as well as Computers that are all connected to incoming cable installations. Don't forget the telephone as well. Belkin provide a similar device that will protect your incoming phone line.
