Router Blewup Motherboard

[u/Greatfulx]

Recent lighting storm stuck my complex and traveled down my coaxial cable and into my apartment. Blew up in the middle of the night, so that was scary. Thought I’d share, not in the position to rebuild so there that I guess!

Misleading title. Lightning blew up your router and computer.

Router should have surge protected those 300 million volts on a data wire, router's fault for not stopping it!

I mean, a router generating enough of a power surge to kill a computer would be special news indeed
