From a wiring perspective I finally understood that there's no way to ground the signal wires coming in from the street. We have an AT&T product that comes in through the fricking twisted pair, not coaxial cable.

Can't mess with that before it gets to the gateway unit, for fear of borking the signal.

The fact that EVERY network switch in the house got zapped tells me that I need to install an APC power strip with built-in surge arrestor with Ethernet ports in every location with a switch, just ahead of the switch.

Is this the wrong walkaway?
