Ethernet port
Your router connects to the WAN (Wide Area Network) port to access the internet, while the LAN (Local Area Network) ports are used to connect devices within your home network. Typically, your modem connects to the WAN port of the router, and then devices like computers and printers connect to the LAN ports. This setup enables your router to distribute internet access to all connected devices.
