can someone tell me what's wrong with my router?
ok, so the other day the power flickered on and off for like not even a second, but my computer restarted, that's the only reason i noticed, anyways, i tried cycling the router and the modem, and still, i can connect to the router, but not to the internet, but i can connect to the internet if im directly connected to the modem, so the only thing i can come up with is that there is a problem with the router connecting to the modem, please help
well, i can get into the router, that's how i know that i can connect to the router. but i noticed that the internet ip address is 0.0.0.0, and the same with the subnet mask, when i have the modem connected to the router i notice the LED on the router that is labeled internet is flashing.

You get an IP address assigned from the router? You can get into the routers management?
Do you have a link light on the router and modem for the network connection between them? If not, the Ethernet port on the router probably got fried.
Suggest you keep your router and modem and PC each on a UPS, one that has surge protection for the Ethernet too.
