Well, it's not very hard to come up with a small script to run on your computer that pings some host in the internet (say, Google DNS, 8.8.8.8) 5 times, and it if get 0 replies it opens up some media player to play a siren
Actually you can also run such a script on your Asus router, though it might be a bit more tricky to get it to play a siren with no speakers, but if I needed that at my home I could make it blink the lights through my Phillips Hue bridge
