I suggest that you consider the networking hardware as sacrificial --it's all
cheap gear and from what you say, difficult to protect while still working well
-- and pay more attention to damage to computers and ham gear that can result
from pollution of the ground system by MOV-based surge protection systems. See
the discussion of this issue in the Power/Grounding White Paper on my website.
