Lightning Fried My POE switch... smh

OTHER, GENERAL

Lightning struck near the house today and the internet went out (among other electrical issues)... Narrowed it down to my POE switch must have got fried. Bypassed the switch and everything works again.

Do I NEED the switch? No. I didn't power anything off it- I just liked having the integrated Eero functionality. Ran my backhaul cables to the Max 7 and all is well. I'm just venting because this is the second power surge in recent years (different houses) that has fried some of my equipment. Last time it was my Plex server with 800+ movies... :(
