You see a WiFi Router marketed as: "Dual-Band AC750 Wifi 4-port Gigabit Router with USB device sharing"

Your impression is the device:

@yestergearpc isn't WAN wireless access network, so what the heck is a WAN port? There is nothing to plug in to a port for a wireless connection.

Follow

@phantomkitty WAN is "wide area network" ie - the internet (or other larger outside network) LAN is "local area network"

A router is the magic in the middle that allows multiple local machines to talk over a single ip to the rest of the world.

You may be confusing WAN with WLAN (wireless lan)
