Probably a silly silly question

My router is powered via a surge protector and the DECT satellite unit from another mains socket ( one of a pair, the other out let going to the surge protector).

Does powering the router via the protector have any influence on performance?

If the surge protector also includes a mains filter, then it's possible that it would help the router to withstand mains-borne interference, but I haven't seen any real evidence of this happening in practice.

@ Renluop,

As an aside, the only blunder I've seen is someone connecting home plugs through a surge protector and then wondering why they didn't work !

Kind regards,
Walter

... includes a mains filter, then it's possible that it would help the router to withstand mains-borne interference,....

As  all the paper work has walked and it's 8+ yrs old,I wouldn't know of it had that refinement, that is unless there is some way to tell by looking.

I doubt there's any way to tell by looking (unless there's something printed on it which gives you the information). You might be able to find its spec on the web.

So until power-down on Thursday for 10 day car-about then
