                                             public signal
                                             (192.168.182.0/24)

The terms WAN, LAN and WIFI are easy to misinterpret, so we dexcribe them here.

  • WAN = (Wide Area Network) provides the uplink to the internet (commonly considerd as a RJ45 Plug)
  • LAN = (Local Area Network) specifies the local network at the private signal
  • WIFI = identifies the network interface to the public signal

With the Addons there comes one new description because the QRM makes the ethernet port usable some other ways.

  • ETH = is the ethernet port of the Fonera
