Every 240 circuit I've seen has two 120 volt breakers ganged (connected)
together (i.e. a 30 amp 240 circuit has 2 15 amp 120 breakers) - one breaker
for each (120 volt) leg of the 240 volts circuit.
Now that said, I don't know that the 20 amp router tripping one of the
ganged 15 amp breakers would have enough "force" to trip both breakers...
I've never tried it... Hmmmmmm..... Any volunteers?
