So I have a 5 port router and I plugged in the 5th slot for my PC and then nothing it just went off no lights nothing so now all my ports are filled I'm wondering if me filling all the ports broke it in some way I was just wondering how this could be. Thanks!

It could have been on its last legs. Consumer grade routers tend to only last a few years then they die. It could have been a power surge or any number of things. Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in? I would just buy a new one, think of it like this, its time to upgrade LOL. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
