We stick with the outside surge suppressor. We have had several dozen direct strikes to customer CPE equipment over the years. Usually results in complete destruction of the CPE, outdoor cable shredded, and the SS turned into shrapnel. Occasionally there is some indoor wiring damage but it’s minimal. No house fires so far which is what I am most concerned about. I mounted a SS on the electrical panel in the basement at a house where the CPE took a direct hit. No fire but it sure filled the basement with smoke and set off the fire alarm. We don’t do that anymore.
If the SS isn’t grounded with the power and building it kills routers. Just the way it goes.
