I have 2 L3+ asic miners, which have worked great for months. I lost internet over night and now both of them aren't working when I got internet back on? Are they permanently fried?
 
Did you lose internet service, electrical power, or both?

Are all other network devices working and successfully connecting to the internet?

I would not expect the miners to be fried if just the internet connection was lost.

However, if electrical power surged and/or was lost for some reason then there could be damage to the miners.

Any surge protectors, power strips, etc. being used? Perhaps they were damaged or maybe just the built in breakers (if any) tripped or failed.

Take a close look at and test the power connections leading to and serving the miners.
