So i recently got hit with a power surge :smileysad: and it fried the fios router, the router wouldnt power back on so im pretty sure it was fried lol. I got the replacement router today and found out that my computers ethernet port is fried too but im lucky that my motherboard has two ethernet ports so i was able to connect it to the other one. But i lost my ethernet to my 600$ receiver :smileysad: now airplay doesnt work but on the bright side at least the reciever still works though. Is there anyway i can prevent this from happening again? I had the router plugged in to a belkin power surge too but its a cheap one i believe. I just bought a UPS for a better protection but should i throw a surge protector on the coax and ethernet too considering how it pretty much damaged all the ethernet ports it was connected to. WIll it slow down my internet by doing this? BTW my ONT is outside the house and a ethernet cable connected from the fios router that got fried from the basement to my third floor to a linksys router(which is working perfectly fine....).
