Now, I think the controller is bricked. All the LEDs on the front are now off. The blue and green lights inside the controller are solid ( ie: not blinking). I can't see it in my browser anymore. I can't reset it to default with the reset button.

So after 7 weeks and a few days of perfect functionality, my S7 is not working after an overnight internet outage of about 3 hrs.
 ( Note: there was an internet outage of about 30 mins a month ago. It didn't affect my S7 then. So, it seems if there's a longer internet outage, it messes up the controller or its memory.)

was it on 9/15 system or updated to 10/23 system? Manual or automatic fan?
i have a feeling that internet loss bug affects both, not just 9/15.

I would also like to know if you made the mistake of setting the fans to auto.

Good question.  I have my B3 fans set to 60% and I've lost internet twice on my miner.  Once for over 4 hours during the day when my powerline decided to crap out.  Each time I simply powered down the miner, waited 5-10 seconds and powered it back up without issues.

you did not JUST lost the internet, you lost both power and internet.
The infamous internet bug strikes only when power is ON, but internet is OFF.

Uh, if this is directed at me, I did just lose internet.  I guess it's misleading with powerline, but powerline in this context is the networking adapter I use to connect my miners from the basement to my router in my kitchen.  Sometimes it just loses network connectivity and I have to unplug/replug it back in to get it to re-sync.
