Storm after math

[BlackestCrow]

Hello everyone,
So yesterday was a huge storm and several devices went down. Had a tech from my ISP come by he replaced my motem which was fried and informed me my router was also fried. I have multiple computers one which was in the back of the house. It uses power line adapters for hard wired ethernet connection. Both adapters lights had gone off and I assumed were also fried.I got back from getting a new router and new adapters. I first decided to try my adapters using the motels single port before installing the new router. The adapters connected to each other and had a strong commotion from the motem. I plugged a patch cord from the adapter in the back room to the desktop.
The pc detected the public network but was “unidentified”
I took the same patch cord plugged it into my laptop and instantly it connected.
I went on the pc and reinstalled the network adapters and that didn’t help.
I’m hoping my network card didn’t fry as well.
I was wondering if there’s a way to check and see if the problem is my network card or maybe some other problem and how I would be able to identify the problem child before I start buying new equipment.

Hello

If you can borrow another lan card that would give you an idea if the pc lan card is fried.

You could install a wireless USB connector on to the desktop.
