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.
  • Page 82 WAN IP Address The WAN IP address is an IP address for the NVG2053, which makes it accessible from an outside network. It is used by the NVG2053 to communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the NVG2053 tries to access the Internet.
