My 8900ax-2400 suffered a lightning strike. There was a small amount of smoke from the case.

I have replaced it with a new one.

However, apart from adsl the original still seems to be functional. So I think it is just the adsl that has burnt out. Is there a way to have it checked/repaired?

It is just over a year old.

Thanks

Plus the repair will only carry 3 months warranty.

As its just the DSL chip blown you can still use it as a broadband router utilizing the EWAN port

Thanks - I thought that might be the case.

By way of a feature request, on both the original and the replacement, when you are using the EWAN the summary page does not show any throughput information. Would it be possible to show the EWAN upload download speed data as well as the ADSL?

Thanks
