Review on 🌩️ APC Ethernet Surge Protector for 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet lines with ProtectNet (PNET1GB) by Deandre Vogt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Connection problems 1 Gb, timeouts/loss of connection

Although the description says protection up to 1GB, I have problems with ping and loss of connection on a cable between my PC and switch/router when protection devices are installed at both ends. Reading other reviews, changing the 6 inch patch cords didn't fix the issue. It ranges from ping timeouts to general errors (indicating that the NIC has detected a loss of connection). Removing the fuse on one side solves the problem. I discovered the issue when I was having trouble playing online after installing the backups. After initially suspecting problems with the game server, I traced the problem back to my local network.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Fix
