Detailed explanation-1: -A router is a network device that connects together two or more networks. A common use of a router is to join a home or business network (LAN) to the Internet (WAN). The router will typically have the Internet cable plugged into it, as well as a cable, or cables to computers on the LAN.
Detailed explanation-2: -A WAN port is used to connect to an internet source, such as a broadband modem. The WAN allows the router to connect to the internet and share that connection with all the Ethernet-ready devices connected to it.
Detailed explanation-3: -WANs are often built using leased lines. At each end of the leased line, a router connects the LAN on one side with a second router within the LAN on the other.
Detailed explanation-4: -A wide area network (WAN) is a geographically distributed private telecommunications network that interconnects multiple local area networks (LANs). A LAN is a group of computers and network devices that are connected to each other, typically within a short relative geographical distance.
