Internal network fails if internet connection goes down?

Yesterday my internet connection went down. When it did my entire internal deco network stopped working. I lost access to my security cameras, my media server, my NAS, etc. None of which is dependent on an internet connection.
I emailed tp-link support who responded that this is by design and i should talk to my ISP for a better connection (we get 200 inches of snow here every winter, internet outages are unavoidable where i live).
This is not only inconvenient, but also unsafe as my internal security system components can't communicate with the network down.
Ive never even heard of a router failing to route internal traffic because of an external link going down. Surely the email support team got it wrong. How do i prevent this from happening again?
