LAN or WAN when connecting to Lumin Streamer?

[Showroom Dummies]

I've always connected the ethernet cable from the WAN port on the back of my router to my Lumin T2 streamer.

The WAN port has suddenly stopped working so I will now have to use one of the LAN ports.

I'm just wondering, does it make any difference if using WAN or LAN?

Thanks

AFAIK, if your LAN uses a standard RJ45 Ethernet port, it should work. Be advised though, that most "generic" routers have really cheap-*ss clocks and are also quite "dirty" devices, particularly if they are powered using an SMPS, so if you can connect a quality Ethernet switch e.g. EtherREGEN, between your router and your T2, it will very likely result in a notable improvement in audio quality. Just a suggestion.
