4.1 Overview
This chapter discusses the VDSL Router’s WAN screens. Use these screens to configure your VDSL
Router 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.
