SXR30 Magenta light on router after lighting strike on cable

[Rmirich]

Hunkering down in basement for tornado warning and lots of lightning. Heard a loud snap in area of cable. router connection and wifi became inoperative as well as tv. Now router has a magenta colored light on front. What does this mean and what can I do? Thanks

It usually means the wan port is down. 

what modem is it connected to? 

First make sure the modem/gateway is working and correctly. 

Attach a computer/pc to that and get it up and functional. 

Once it is, power it back off for 2 minutes (and the orbi). 

Then power it back on and give it 2 minutes. 

Attach the gateway/modem to the wan port on the orbi and boot the orbi up. 

Give it 2 minutes. 

report back after that what happened.
