Surge Protection for Router - ligheting can cause disasters to your router+LAN Card

[sandienet]

Last year one day there was a big lightening in Pune area and then I lost my connectivity...I found that not only Router ( tata person gave me new router..) but also on-board LAN card has gone off... I had to purchase new LAN card and then internet restored. I want to know is there any Surge-Protector that we can put in 'THAT WHITE CABLE COMING FROM INTERNET/Line-Loop Box' ?????can we protect our router and LAN card against such accidental electrical current coming in ....?
