Is anyone having any internet performance issues when using the Ethernet Surge Protection feature?

I had all sorts of problems when I had ATT, changed to CHARTER and my problems were solved, had nothing to do with the belkin outlet.

I've never had this issue. The only time I had any connection issues is when I was connected to a surge protector. After plugging directly to the wall socket, the issue went away.

I've been using it in my work computer for a couple months now, which exclusively runs Ubuntu (Though I used 13.10 and now 14.04). No issues other than the normal Linux wifi signal strength issue that's easily solved by disabling the Power Management for the Wifi Card.

I've had no issues with it. The tech when he installed my service tried to upsell me a newer modem saying this one was too slow. I constantly get 8 Mbps down and 5 up. And yes I have Comcast.

I've never had a problem with lag...but I also have the highest speed Internet available in my area

I find the UPS or surge strip is usually my problem not the PC but either way it should help. I have my UPS plugged into one and that cleared up my main problem. Any type of surge protector appears to weaken the signal.

That's what I would like to know also! Most of the systems will say internet ready, but only dsl. Get with the times! What will work on a 45 lan/ethernet?

I really don't know.I bought one to be capable of using 2 computers at the same time when it was necessary. Once both ethernet cables were connected to this thing-I could not even access the internet with one computer. I had to unplug the ethernet cable from the second computer to get online. I had hoped this unit would work-but it didn't. I did get a full refund from the seller,and Amazon refunded the $6.00 it cost me to return it-so I would say you can take a gamble on it-if it doesn't work for you at least you won't be out of any money.

Really?! So, this gets "maximum throughput" at the expense of exposing the electronics to an electrical 'hit'?!? What did you determine? ... can they operate in less-than-maximum-but-safer mode (i.e., through a surge protector) and still solve an in-house signal-strength problem?

Yes. My internet has gone down a couple of times. When it comes back up everything works fine ( wired computer & wireless laptop). Never had a problem with this router. I love it and the internal hard drive is amazing. For the price it's a great wifi router. I highly recommend this product.

Not really, mine is really fast even with weak internet conections. And using slow software is surprisingly fast in this computer. Mayve you have some software issues?

I specifically did not try to do this due to the nature of many surge protectors. Some help filter noise, and others may see this as a surge. No technical expertise behind my answer, just seemed I wanted the most direct connection possible to increase speeds.

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

I not not sure what the problem is but it could have something to do with where and I using the internet. I had no problems when I was at home but I have recently connected to a hotel internet signal during my stay with them and it get the same error. When plugged the ethernet cable in it worked fined. This leaves me to believe either my wireless board is fried, firmware has been lost, or the hotel has some sort of internet filter that prevents devices like Roku and Play Stations to drain their bandwidth.

According to some of the reviews, this will only work for up to 100Mbit Ethernet, not Gigabit. But if you're using this to protect a cable modem (coax in from wall and out to modem, Ethernet in from modem and out to router), then you shouldn't need anything more than 100Mbit protection.

Sorry I have not had an issue but really have not used the router that much yet.

No, because it drops connections at the worst times, and has latency issues. When it works, it's reasonably fast. When it works that is.
