Resolved Belkin router stopped connecting after storm

Question: Is this router recoverable or is it dead?

Belkin Connect N150, model F7D5301 v1

A week or so ago we had a violent storm with lots of cloud to ground lightening. As a matter of fact the tree across the street was hit by lightening and a transformer near my home was hit.

Subsequently Internet service was down. Time Warner said it was fixed later that day but I still couldn't connect.

I unplugged from the router and went direct to the modem and was able to connect.

I reset the router; no help. I returned the router to factory defaults; no help. I unplugged the router, held the reset button in for 60 seconds; no help.

I can access the router and complete all functions on the router but it will not connect to the internet. I can see my wireless printer (didn't try printing to it) as well.

No other items were affected.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks. Just wanted outside confirmation. Fortunately, I had a spare.
