The dilemma here is that the surge suppressor will have to be installed in the line feeding the noisy appliance (in this case, the dishwasher) so, depending on the appliance, you could be looking at a fairly hefty electrical load - so this is why you need to consult a professional electrician.
I'm afraid that would get rather costly. I bought the hdx101's to get a 'cheap' connection to the other side of the house. If I need to get professionals to get some speed improvement I would rather get someone to put a utp cable in place ;) At the moment the connection is stable and relatively fast compared to wifi and my old 14mbit devolo units but since I copy large amounts of data accross the network I was hoping just for some (cheap :D) improvement :rolleyes:
