12.1 Overview

This chapter discusses the NBG-419N’s WAN screens. Use these screens to
configure your NBG-419N 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.
