yeah there was great lightning.
we actually use broadband internet here (with coaxial cable) . My broadband wire was connected into the wan port during the lightning (though there was no electricity in our area in that time) .
Can you confirm what kind of ISP modem/router do you have? Are you sure it's working?

Solved the problem. I use tp link tl wr 740n. my routers wan port also got damaged. so i created another VLAN (VLAN 2) and set the port 3 "untagged" in VLAN 2 and "off" in VLAN 1. and other ports were set to ''off" except the CPU port. it remained "tagged".
Then i went to network > interface > WAN > EDIT > physical settings > selected interface : eth0.2( VLAN 2).
And everything was solved like a magic. now my ethernet cable is plugged into port 3 instead of the blue wan port.
