I'm quite surprised that similar hasn't happened to me more often. I always have coffees on my desk whether at home or work.

Just once in all the years have I spilled coffee, all over my home keyboard. Immediate power down, ran the keyboard under the shower, allowed to dry thoroughly, good as new.

A router has rather more powered components to short under spillage I'd imagine. Unlucky.
