The week my networking equipment died all at once

Last month my router, switch, and modem all failed within 48 hours, right when I had a deadline for a big project. I spent $400 on replacements and three nights troubleshooting with no backup gear on hand. Has anyone else had their entire home setup crash in a chain like that?

Honestly I gotta push back on this "chain reaction" idea. You had three separate pieces of gear that were probably all old and beat up at the same time, not some magical curse. If you'd kept spare cables or a cheap backup router in a drawer you could've been up and running in 20 minutes instead of three nights of PANIC.
