Router won’t connect to internet after circuit breaker tripped.

Our kettle blew and tripped the circuit breaker. The phone and router are on the same circuit. When power was restored the router started but shows no light connected to the internet. The phone works fine. We have restarted the router and then reset it and still no internet. Help?!

If the router is left switched on all the time as recommended, it wouldn't matter if you are "on the webz". Sad

It's might be worth investing in a surge protected extension lead for the router.
