Plug a Powerline on a 10/100 Lan or Gigabit WAN port?

February 9th, 2020

Hey guys,
I’ve got a ZTE H220N router (from my ISP) with 10/100 lan port and (as told to me) a gigabit 10/100/1000 WAN port.
Since I got NO clue what the difference is: I just say it plainly: On what port should I plug in the Powerline adapter -> The 10/100 LAN port or the 10/100/1000 gigabit WAN port?
Directly on the other end will be a gigabit switch, with an Acces Point, Internet TV set top box and my Apple TV box plugged.
So what should I choose: The WAN or the LAN port?
Thanks guys!
p.s. Let me add the Powerline is capable of speeds above 10/100, since I’ve read reviews of these of people getting up to 200MBps speeds.

This sounds like a lie.
I’ve never heard of a router that has it both ways, It’s either 100MBPS or 1GBPS on all ports.
So what should I choose: The WAN or the LAN port?
LAN.
The WAN port is for the modem (Internet input)

Ok, thanks!
