Computers use port numbers to determine to which process or application a message should be delivered. As network addresses are like street address, port numbers are like suite or room numbers.
The WAN is the network outside the LAN; this is both other internal networks and the full Internet. A WAN port is the portal by which information passes back and forth between the LAN and the WAN. Most users will find a WAN port on a network router. A common home router has one WAN port and four LAN ports. Some routers refer to them as an uplink (for the WAN port) and wired connections (for LAN ports).
