I knew this because several electronic devices that rely on constant power were reset. Next to be noticed was that my computer had no connection to the internet, and my Ethernet port has a constant orange light on. I proceeded to perform a full network restart for my modem, router, and computer. This solved the internet connection to my router. My roommate was able to connect via an Ethernet cable to the internet on any of the routers ports, but I was still unable. However, I was able to connect to the wireless on my computer. Unfortunately no matter what port, or cable I use my Ethernet port still is unresponsive to it all, and still has the constant orange light.<\/p>\n<p>Any steps I should take to help fin out more on this problem, or a solution is greatly appreciated.
