680969 2008-06-22 01:37:00 I found one of these (not bought from this site though)
www.saveabuck.com.au
in the back of a drawer. Can't find a picture of it - but specs on back say 50Hz AC only. Total load 10amps.

Was thinking the other day that our wireless router does not have surge protection. Would this one be robust enough to entrust our router too ?
Suppose it would be better than nothing ?
Misty :illogical :D

Should do the trick, wont be much protection but better than nothing, as you say :)

Hi feersumendjinn
That's exactly it . May be where I bought it too ! Didn't cost much did it :horrified
Don't know how you found that when I didn't - did you use Search NZ perhaps . I used Google which more often than not finds things in NZ that Search NZ does not .

I see the Noel L ad says

The surge guard adaptor is the ideal solution to protect a single appliance or electrical device (e . g . clock radio) against repetitively damaging everyday surges .

Electric clocks are not very demanding as I understand it, so you would not subject it to too much of a load . Nevertheless, I guess that wireless routers are pretty low power :confused:
Misty :illogical

680972 2008-06-22 11:17:00 Just typed the model number into Google.

My D-link (wired) modem/router draws 95 milliamps (less than .1 of an amp), so it should be ok :cool:

Thanks feersumendjinn
Whilst I very much appreciate your input, I am depressed reading this allied thread

The above surge protector did not cost much at all, but the one for my main PC cost a helluva lot more and the consensus is that they are largely a waste of time !!
