Wide area network. It’s basically the “internet” side of the router.
I know what a Wide Area Network is. I'm just saying the acronym is ambiguous since the advent of WiFi
lan is local area network
wan is wide area network
wlan is wireless local
wwan is wireless wan
Not really. WAN has always been WAN. Wireless has always been WLAN.
