The coax port takes the cable internet connection, so it is the WAN.

So 254 mm is the height, 211 mm the depth and 110 mm the width. The April 2021 manual (Table 6) prints 264 x 215 x 110 mm. The newer data sheet and the netgear.com page agree, so the data sheet is used.","weight_g":"Printed 2.10 lb / 0.95 kg, the same as the netgear.com page and Amazon (2.1 lb).
