If so try this remove power from both the modem and router, wait about two minutes, reapply power to the modem and wait two minutes for it too fully reboot, reapply power to the router wait for to fully reboot.
If not what happen please give more details?

Re: Ethernet not recognized
Not the lan cables the power cables allow the two devices to discharge the caps inside of them boot int the modem and router in this order allows the modem and router to find their correct order in the network.
You may have lost the lan port part of your routers controller.
You could try a 30-30-30 reset this clears all your settings including the nvram but if this works it would clear any errors in the routers settings and could return the lan ports
1. push the reset button and remove power from the router for 30 seconds while keep pushing the reset button.
2. Keep pushing the reset button and reapply power to the router for 30 seconds while pushing the reset button.
3. Keep pushing the reset button and re move power from the router for 30 seconds while pushing the reset button.
4 reapply power to the router and reset up.

Re: Ethernet not recognized
What light are working on the other I know the lan lights are out from you posting what the interent on the router?
If you connect the computer direct to the modem does the internet work removing the router from the picture?
Do you know how to make lan cable?
If so you can make nulling plug by using a rj45 plug with the pins 1 and 3 jump together, pins 2 and 6 jump together. Pins 4,5,78 are not needed.
You use this plug to test the lan port on you computer if needed will also check routers lan ports they think they have a link between them selves and an network device.

Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug the modem.
- Turn off the modem router and computers.
- Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.
- Turn on the modem router and wait 2 minutes.

It may be that your power outage killed something.

Re: Ethernet not recognized
Surge protectors are fine for some things. But they can't handle everything. It depends on the cause of the problem. I know from experience, that not much can stop a lightning strike, for example.
Too late now, but I should have suggested trying a spare power adapter for your old router. But you probably ended up with a shiny new router that adds more bells and whistles to your network.
