No WAN port on Sky Router

I've currently got FTTC broadband with Sky, and FTTP is now available in my road. I've upgraded to Gigafast with Sky, and Openreach are coming on Friday to fit the ONT, etc.

 

However, all sky have sent me after upgrading is an ethernet cable and an instruction booklet for how to plug the router into the ONT once installed.

 

So I'm assuming they're saying that my current FTTC Sky router will be fine. Only thing is, there is no WAN port marked on the back of this. Just the telephone port (currently used for the FTTC broadband) and then 4 ethernet ports. Does this mean I need to contact Sky and ask them to send me a new router before Friday?

 

Thanks in advance 🙂

It should still work as even the er115 has a wan over the ethernet function.  So once the ont is installed connect the ont to lan 4 using the ethernet cable

Middle top row, Sky Broadband Hub. It looks like the same one in the leaflet they sent me, however it says WAN on port 4 on the picture in the leaflet, but my actual hub doesn't have port 4 labeled as WAN.

@sedalbis  As per @cookiemonsteruk  it is Port 4, you should see WAN in red print above the port.

Re: No WAN port on Sky Router

Thank you both! Nope, it isn't labelled with WAN at all. I have faith it'll work on Friday though 🙂
