Router Damaged?
Lightning struck closeby and now the router won't turn on at all. No lights or anything. I'd obviously say its fried but it was in a surge protector that wasn't damaged and nothing else was damaged in the surge protector. The cords and ports look untouched, no smell of burnt anything.

Test/swap the power adapter?

Not proof of much.

Not a router. Look for "Model" on the product label.
