Wan ports router
(Wide Area Network port) The socket on a network device that is wired to an external network such as the Internet. In the home and small business, a WAN port is an RJ-45 Ethernet port on a router that is wired to a cable or DSL modem. On small routers, the WAN port may be labeled simply "Internet." In the larger enterprise, a WAN port may hook up to a T1 line or other wide area network service and use a V.35, RS-232 or RS-530 connection rather than RJ-45.
