Almost the same thing happened to me. I accidentally fucked up the internet connection in my home while in Japan, and I had to video call my mom to have her fix it. It was a pain for both of us, but thankfully it went rather smoothly. Thank you mom!

So I connected through ssh back home to fiddle with the router settings, and in the PPPoE settings (where you set a pair of username and password that your router sends to the ISP such that the ISP knows you and knows what IP to assign to you) I made a typo, and apparently that instantly killed the internet connection at home and also for me. I had to call my mom to instruct her to fix the typo in the username. TBH I don’t know that much about PPPoE either, I only do it so that the ISP assigns us the same IP address every time.
