The homeowner must provide an AC

Notice that names such as APC, Tripplite, and Belkin are not listed.


Note to the original poster:

You may wish to check previous threads involving w_tom and
"whole house" protectors. w_tom's opinions are fresh and
a challenge to us all.

Yeah, they maybe fresh but I don't see this doing much good for someone living in an apartment or one doesn't have control of the house.

Myself, I am more interested in keeping the power clean and constant to the router or FW appliance and other devices, which I had a lot of problems with the router as household appliances switched on and off on the line like the air conditioner, refrigerator, furnace etc. etc. causing problems that the UPS corrected the problems and I never had another peep out of the router.
