Unfortunately that is quite a common problem. Often spikes on the
incoming line kill the circuit. You may find if your lucky that the
voltage arrester just behind the WAN socket is SC. Otherwise its just
usable as switch.

Sub the router with a known working unit?

I have reset it to initial status, and the 4xswitch side works.

TIA


Only chance of repair is if you can positively ID the failed part and
find a replacement.
