Topic: Asus WL-500g WAN port issue

Hello everybody,

I've got an old Asus WL-500g which had all ethernet ports dead. After replacing both on-board capacitors inside router near power socket, all LAN ports works fine (PSU is new). However, the WAN port works only in some cases - if I connect it with short cable to a LAN port of another router, it works normally; otherwise, it doesn't work and the LED of WAN port blinks only weakly.

Does anyone have some experience with this problem? Thank you for your responses.

Bump. Still no solution.

The discussion might have continued from here.
