I can't see see why an ordinary powerboard would be a problem, it's just a series of sockets wired in parallel, just like your wall sockets are. However, if you have a filtered powerboard, of the type that remove electrical noise (usually with a core wound around ferrite), it's quite likely that they'll filter out the networking RF. But I wouldn't expect boards with surge suppressors to be a problem, they only kick in well above normal voltage levels (and not enough to protect against some small surges - such as if you have equipment that can't handle something like 20 volts above normal, they won't help you). They're generally a useless device, and a potential problem causer if you happen to daisy chain one through another, and one of the far end (from the wall socket) arrestors decides to clamp down on the mains - it puts a heavy load on the ones in between. If you must daisy chain powerboards, connect the protective one directly to the wall socket, and use bare bones ones plugged into it. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.16.2-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Sep 8 12:17:59 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
