If the high speed internet line isn't damaged, your generator will power the modem and router.

While they sometimes share lines, they don't always share routing.

There’s more equipment from the internet company that also requires power outside of your house. I believe they can be outside your power connections circuit so the equipment can lose or have power while your house has the other.

There's definitely not at my house - it's a coax wire straight from the pole through my wall to my router.

And somewhere down that wire from the pole, probably at the end of your road or an intersection, there’s a large metal box with internet equipment.
