4.1 Basic Overview
This section describes some of the concepts related to the Basic screens.
4.1.1 WAN and LAN
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network of computers and other devices that usually
occupies a small physical area (a single building, for example). Your CGN3’s LAN
consists of all the computers and other networking devices connected to the LAN 1~4
ports. This is your private network (in routing mode - see
Routing Mode on page 38).
The LAN is a separate network from the Wide Area Network (WAN). In the case of
the CGN3, the WAN refers to all computers and other devices available on the cable
connection.
