The WAN port is the Wide Area Network interface. This is where your router is going to look for its connection to another network, such as your cable providers network, or more simply, the internet.
The uplink port on your router is there to connect other hubs and/or switches to your router. You cannot plug one hub into another hub with a straigh through cable. For this you must need a cross-over cable. To elinimate this most manufacturers have added the Uplink port switch does the function of a cross-over cable internally.
As for your game, I am not sure why they would want to you switch it. Does it work fine right now?
