it is a good idea to review the most current copy of Part 97. The ARRL book is excellent for that. As for using the WiFi router for Repeater control, you would have to lock it down very well, use special firmware, or some non-ham script kiddie will attempt a DoS attack (denial of service). You

The lightning did create some damage. Since you are stating it is in the receiver, you will have to check the antenna , the feedline, and any ancillary components connected to the former. If you did not have any lightning protection, then either the antenna or one of the connectors arced over
