AC87u dead wan port

Lightning damage... I was told that if I am lucky it only killed the component in the picture, which can be replaced. Problem is, I can't find it anywhere, so if anybody knows, I would be grateful.

If you router was hit by a lightning surge you would be the luckiest guy in the world if it is repairable. The chips will be useless.

Time for a new router.

You could use the dual wan feature to assign one of the lan ports as the wan port.

Router works, I assigned one of the Lan ports as wan, but I would like to try to fix the wan port.

The switch is part of the CPU.

You could try checking the continuity of that signal transformer's windings with a meter if you think some of them are burnt out.

Like you I've not been able to find anywhere on the internet that sells that chip. I think you'll have to look for an equivalent device. The AG1801DS looks to be identical. Maybe you can find somewhere that sells that.
