Hello all. I've scoured Google and had some problems finding an answer to my specific question so I figured a place like this may be able to help me out. Yesterday, my house got hit by a lightning surge and it took out some electronics (in addition to some power outlets) throughout the house. Included was my nice Asus router and my stereo system.
My question is this though. Both of these devices were on surge protectors with other devices plugged into their own outlets. Why didn't anything else on these protectors get hit? Am I missing something? Should I check anything else on the devices to make sure they are actually not functional any longer?
My router actually still powers on, but appears to not get a signal from a hardwired internet connection and devices cannot connect to it. I'm just pretty ignorant about lightning surges and am curious if anyone has experience with it before I call the insurance company and start chunking stuff. Please Help. Thanks !
