    They only work for lines on the same circuit, power strips are technically the addition of a circuit breaker with the surge breaker on them. I used to use several in my old apartment

      But the signal is still going through the same circuit of romex wire. If the house has one circuit breaker then I don’t think the surge protectors really matter much as long as they are turned on. I could be wrong, I’m not an electrician.

        I’m just saying the instruction on each one I owned said don’t use with a UPS or surge protector as it won’t work. Needless to say I tried it anyway and it didn’t work lol tbf they’re a bitch to get going on the same circuit as intended anyway, they’re fine once connected though. I only had to re-pair them once a year or so
