Electricity in your house won't get internet access to a server that has no electricity.

Extension cords. Modem, TV, I have several cords to power all. In reality in an emergency you will live in the LR and MBR.
Specifically, the extension cords are laid out this way:
-one 50' cord terminating in six outlets. This leads inside and powers everything inside.
-one 50' cord outside to the tankless water heater, this powers the electronics of the gas powered heater
In the home pluged into the cord to the generator there is:
one cord leads to the kitchen to power the fridge and router
One leads to the LR to power the TV and a light
The final interior cord runs to power a fan and a light in the MBR.
If your counting there are three more outlets for a floater cord to power whatever you need.
Each of the three interior cords terminates in a three outlet cord.
I use 12 gauge extension cords
In the power outage that I lived through there was internet. Near our home there was a small utility type of box that had a small generator running, looking back it was probably the cable/internet backup generator
