Can a lightning strike hit a router and damage a wireless device?

If lightning hit's any computer related device, or any thing. it's fried. Where is your router, On the roof high up?!

If you mean the Outdoor external antenna, If it's grounded properly, no.

What kind of cable was used in outdoor TV antennas before coaxial cable?

I`m Not That Old !!!!!!!!!!! Just Kidding. It Was Brown In Color About 1/2 Inch Wide & Flat. The Two Wires That Were In The Antenna Cable Where The Wires One On Each Side. This Ran From Two Screws On The Back Of The TV To An Outside Antenna It Worked, But Not Near As Well As Cable TV. Most TVs Today Still Have A Feature To Use This Antenna To Pick Up Your Local Channels. In The Menu It May Say On Your TV. Cable-UHF VHF. The uhf/vhf is the old style antenna connection. Don`t be supirsed if you find lots of people not having a cable bill to pay & using this antenna watching local channels and enjoying it. Wish I Could Too. The New Way Is Not Always The Best Way. And It Always Costs More. Thank You
