Kenny do the surge protectors really work to protect against lightning? We have fiber optic into our place, from the pole, I thought I was so smart when we ordered it, no more worries about lightning I thought, except the fiber optic has a thick stainless steel stiffener, so much for no lightning. Any way to surge protect from the router to the computer?

Yes and no. A close direct hit is pretty going to fry anything and just the bypass energy/surge will do most electronics in.
The only sure way -- as Betty said -- is to uplug and disconnect things completely.
