    Whatever popped your adapter is likely also to have popped the Hub.  Power surges can do that.  You now have the Christmas problem and I suspect nothing can be done about it.  The only thing you might care to do is nip out to Curry's or somewhere, buy a cheap wireless router and tether your phone to the router's WiFi.  Then, at least, you'll be able to have something working over Christmas.
