Linksys WAG54G Ethernet Ports Have Stopped Working

I have been using my WAG54G wireless router successfully for several
months. I use my laptop over the wireless connection, but plug my NAS
into one of the Ethernet ports.

Last week I was unable access the NAS, and the Ethernet connection
lights on the front of the router was unlit. However, wireless
Internet continued to work correctly.

I have tried all the Ethernet ports and resetting both the router and
NAS several times without success.

I then tried plugging in my laptop directly using the Ethernet cable.
The network card on my laptop flashed intermittently every couple of
seconds, but not as you would expect in normal use. The Ethernet
connection lights on the front of th router remain unlit.

I was tempted to reset my router back to the factory defaults to see if
this helped, however given that I cannot access my router with the
Ethernet cable I am concerned that I may by unable to reconfigure my
router and would therefore lose my internet connection.

Can anyone advise me on a possible solution to this issue?

Thanks
James

Have you tried a different Ethernet cable?

I've seen this happen after a lightning strike, try a different
router.
