My router C6 ac1200 stopped working because water was coming through the cable from ISP. I removed the cable, hairdayed it, and kept  it for more than 8 hrs, but still when I turn on the router, I dont see any lights. Please help. What can I do?

It sounds like your router may have been damaged by the water. Unfortunately, there's a good chance that it's no longer working. However, there are a few things you can try to do to see if you can get it working again.

First, try resetting the router. To do this, you'll need to find the reset button on the back of the router. It's usually a small hole with a pinhole in it. Use a paperclip or something similar to press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. The router should then reboot.

If resetting the router doesn't work, you can try replacing the power supply. The power supply is the brick that plugs into the wall. If it's damaged, it could be preventing the router from turning on. You can purchase a replacement power supply from the manufacturer's website or from a third-party retailer.
