power outage with my c7800
Just got this modem/router combo a week ago, today lightning struck nearby that caused my power to shut off for 1 second. I had 2 ethernets plugged into 1 and 2 while my roommate had 3 across our home. Our internet had been disconnected for about 30 minutes before turning back on to realize only port 2 and 4 were getting connection. Any suggestions to fixing port 1 and 3? I'm hoping this thing didnt just brick on me.

In many circles, two dead Ethernet ports (out of four) would not
qualify as a "brick".I doubt that repair would be practical, but you could add an external
gigabit Ethernet switch, and regain most of your original functionality.> Just got this modem/router combo a week ago, [...]
