Powerline adapter through surge protector?

[sam1275tom]

Hello everyone, I installed a pair of Netgear AV200 Powerline adapters, one side for modem is through normal power plug, another to my router is through Tripplite UPS on the surge protect socket, the LED are green indicates the link is good, and it works good too.
But after I added another pair works as a different group, one router side on UPS, client side on a plug, I began to experience random packet loss, the LED are also green, but I get a few seconds connection loss every few minutes to hours, randomly.
I know it's hard for them to get through a UPS with surge protection, but I don't want to risking my devices by connecting them directly to wall plug, are there any better idea? The wireless is also too weak to reach. Thank you...

If powerline wont work and wireless is too weak, then regular wired is your next option thats guaranteed to work.

The powerline stuff works best if its plugged directly into the wall, So keep your PC stuff plugged into the surge protector and plug ONLY the powerline plugs directly into the wall. if your worried about surges coming over the network cables, look for some cat5 surge protectors. Some surge protectors will have those built in, but I dont know how good they are or if they will introduce new problems.

Your have assumed adjacent protectors protect from tyipcally destructive surges. Anyone can read specification numbers. A surge must be so powerful as to overwhelm robust protection already inside all electronics. Destructive surges can be hundreds of thousands of joules. How many joules does that power strip claim to absorb? Hundreds? Thousand? Even tinier is protection provided by a UPS.

Your best protection is for all types of surges - including the destructive type. Those adjacent protectors do not claim to protect from the other destructive type. Even users of X-10 Controllers used the proven 'whole house' solution. For some reason, Leviton models were often recommended. Others come from Square D, Ditek, Polyphaser (an industry benchmark), Intermatic, Syscom, General Electric, ABB, and Siemens. A Cutler-Hammer is sold in Lowes and Home Depot. Then everything in the house is protected. And protectors do not degrade powerline signals.
