I can't tell if WAN is Wireless Area Network or Wide Area Network.
Wide area network. It’s basically the “internet” side of the router.
I know what a Wide Area Network is. I'm just saying the acronym is ambiguous since the advent of WiFi
Not really. WAN has always been WAN. Wireless has always been WLAN.
