It could be anything along the wires, from accidental damage to ground cuts or loose connections causing sparks. The ISP's equipment is robust and includes surge protection for Ethernet lines, but other devices connected to those lines might still be affected.

He once visited me after another router became the broker, checked the voltage levels and confirmed everything was fine. No adjustments were made since then. The last router I used worked for over two months, while the new ones only lasted a few days.

The incoming signal from the ISP varies compared to what reaches the router. Based on the configuration, the modem gathers data from different sources like twisted pair, coaxial cable, or fiber and converts it into a standard Ethernet format. If significant voltage fluctuations appear over the WAN port, it indicates a faulty modem. This usually happens with regular ISP modems unless you have a combined modem/router setup or a specialized system such as FTTH, where the entire copper network stays inside the premises. EDIT: Excessive power from the pole or improper wiring returning to the ISP can damage the modem, not the router.

Consider using another cable first. If you're still having issues, the ISP staff might be overwhelmed, and your modem could be sending incorrect power readings—this might also damage the RJ45 port.

It didn’t burn completely and turned a solid black color as expected from heat and pressure, but it’s no longer functioning properly. Just the Lan ports are still operational.

I contacted an ISP technician, he'll arrive shortly
