Review on 🏠 Enhance Home Safety with Siemens FSCATV First Surge Coaxial Whole House Surge Protection by Srivatsan Oling

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Just useless for protection

I lost my cable modem and wireless router to a lightning strike on a pole. I took one and replaced the Spectrum bitch with this one, thinking I'd eliminated the threat. All electronics are already wired up with surge protectors and backup batteries (this is Florida, after all). Well... yesterday another lightning bolt struck the same pole. The same story. Blown cable modem and Wi-Fi router. Arris surfboard modems kind of allow the jump to the LAN and fry things downstream BTW. This block did nothing. Another $350 unplanned expense on new electronics. It's time to look for a better fix as I'm sure Spectrum won't be in any rush to fix this at the bar.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • I'll write later
