That's two issues, can't connect to what? Make, Model of computer and the OS you are using. Staying connected may be many things, from interfererence, distance, ISP signal, Belkin settings, cabling, software settings...etc. Is your Belkin Securied with a Security password? Post more info.

You should check the connection between your router and modem. make sure your modem is properly connected from internet port of the router to the modem. for more information you may visit at how to troubleshoot belkin router blinking orange Fix Belkin Router

It is possible that, if you have the router set to wireless N only, your XP machine won't interact with it. Your XP adapter probably doesn't support wireless "N"--you'll have to tell the router to use "N" or "G"

Try resetting the router. There should be a little hole somewhere on it with a button inside that you can press with a paperclip. Try holding that button down while you unplug then plug the router in while holding it (if possible). If that doesn't work, I'd suspect the storm might've damaged the router somehow. Was it plugged into a surge protector, and/or have you noticed any other issues with anything else that was turned on at the time?
