Yes.I have working internet connection which is working on other router.It was working very well on R7300 as well.But then ( I don't know may be due to power surge) Wan port stop working.No led light lit up when connecting to Wan.All other functions including Lan ports are working well.Any work around to use one of Lan port as Wan port or any Wan to Lan converter / adapter?Thank you all helping here.

Hello.It was directly connected to BROADBAND connection.Which is now connected to other router, means broadband services are working fine.
