Model: Archer AX1500  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.9 Build 20230728 Rel. 45716(5553)

It looks like one of my routers LAN ports may be dead. I'm out of ideas on what can be done about it but that as a last ditch effort I'd post here.

 

Issue is pretty straightforward, LAN 4 it seems refuses to acknowledge a connection regardless or cable or device, yet all others work fine.

 

I've already tried the standard reset, reboot, tried to check whatever settings I can think of, tried a new cable, tried different devices. All of them are a bust, I check network map and irrespective neither the device nor the network map will recognize LAN 4, stuck as below no matter what I tried swapping around. Same cables and devices work fine in ports 1 to 3.

 

Sadly this device is definitely probably out of warranty, and it's had overheating issues for ages. (Whatever happened with V1 hardware of this device must not have been good, no wonder they aren't on V1 anymore)

 

Any ideas that I could try that I haven't thought of or am I just SOL and down to 1 less LAN port? I was using all 4, so kind of unfortunate but oh well.

 

(I don't have anything in LAN 1 right now because I was swapping around, but the device and cable works fine in LAN 1 that's currently swapped back in LAN 4 and doesn't work)

  @TheFishPuncher 

look inside of the conector and see if one of the pins are bent. 
 

otherwise I would think there is an internal issue.

  @ArcherC8 Yeah that's a good thought, I didn't really look closely at it before at all. I tried to look more closely in the connecter and they appear to be fine and unbent. The connection definitely looks and feels solid. I think it's much more likely it's some kind of internal issue unfortunately, welp.
