9.1 Overview
This chapter discusses the NBG6818’s WAN screens. Use these screens to configure your NBG6818 for
Internet access.
A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. It
connects your private networks such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, so that a
computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations.
