Bad weather: how can I protect my Livebox during a storm?

Protecting your Livebox during a thunderstorm is essential to avoid damage caused by potentially generated electrical surges from lightning. Here are some tips to protect your Livebox during inclement weather:

  1. Unplug during storms: If you anticipate thunderstorms, unplug your Livebox and other electronic devices to avoid any damage caused by lightning or electrical surges.
  2. Avoid using the landline phone: During a thunderstorm, refrain from using the landline phone connected to your Livebox, as telephone lines can also carry electrical surges.
  3. Use a surge protector: Plugging your Livebox into a surge protector helps protect it against electrical surges. Ensure that the surge protector is designed to safeguard sensitive electronic equipment such as modems, routers, and Internet boxes.
  4. Use a lightning rod: If you have a lightning rod installed on your house or building, it can help divert lightning away from your electronic equipment. Ensure that the lightning rod is properly installed and maintained.
  5. Install telephone line protectors: Telephone line protectors can help safeguard your Livebox against electrical surges originating from the telephone line. Ensure they are properly installed and regularly check their condition.
