Wired networks... Frown A few months back we had a lightning storm. Tree in front of the house was struck and we lost about half our home electronics including everything on our wired network, and some misc other items. While cleaning up and detailing the strike we found the old cat 5 cabling running along the outer wall of the upstairs den was fried, with blackened connectors and a scorched wall plate closest to the believed entry point (We think it was the metal flashing along the bottom edge of the roof that was all but right up against the network cable inside the attic. Plus closest area of the house to the lightning struck tree.) Older stuff mostly on the wired network, but every bit of it dead. Router (new-ish AX3300 with 2.5G wan port), switch, laser printer, a couple old gaming desktops, network connected DirecTV system, plus all the TVs hooked up to the DirecTV system. Lots of fun. Now only things connected to our wired network is the router and AP.
were your router/AP plugged into a surge protector or just plugged into the wall outlet?

Yes. Most all electronics in our house have surge protectors. Though from what I understand they're often not sufficient to protect against a spike from a nearby lightning hit.
As far as we could tell, it went directly into the network wiring first and then things connected to it. From there to the TVs and also over to regular AC lines in order to hit a few things like the garage door opener and pool vac that aren't surge protected.

Any deal on 16 ports switch? I want to avoid stacking 2 8-port switch if possible
Why? It takes less space to stack two 8 ports

Im looking for some switches to connect up to (4) cameras/switch. I have a few buildings that will each have a couple cameras and a switch, feeding back to a main switch, into my NVR. POE isn't necessary as I will have power at each building. Do you have a switch you would recommend? Thanks
PoE is almost always what you want if you have IP cameras. Even if you have power nearby, it's often a pain to get it to the cameras and makes it harder to hide them. A Netgear GS305P will cover that if there's 4 or less cameras, and they're $45 at Walmart.

You can get the managed version of these for about $6 more if you want vlans. Just ordered another one to pre-configure for a back up in the unlikely event my main switch goes awry:

I have a whole house surge protector hardwired into the main service panel (and another attached to a sub panel) for utility events. Wouldn't do squat for a hit on the ethernet line(s) tho. I don't worry much about that as the ethernet is pretty much protected from that by the placement inside and nothing run even close to the exterior of the dwelling.
