Possible values are: Mobile WAN or USB modem Qmi2 - Qualcomm MSM Interface, a proprietary protocol used between Qualcomm cellular processors and their software stacks PPP - Point-to-Point Protocol; uses a dialling number to establish a data connection Wired WAN DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol; the WAN network interface controller acts as a DHCP client, meaning that it receives a dynamically assigned IP address and other network configuration parameters Static - WAN network interface controller configuration parameters are set manually (used when the WAN gateway is not a DHCP server) PPPoE - Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet; used to establish a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Internet service connection WiFi WAN DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol; the WAN network interface controller acts as a DHCP client, meaning that it receives a dynamically assigned IP address and other network configuration parameters Static - WAN network interface controller configuration parameters are set manually (used when the WAN gateway is not a DHCP server)
IP address	Router's WAN IP address
WAN MAC	MAC address of the WAN network interface controller (WiFi radio or WAN Ethernet port). This field is only visible if main WAN is set to Wired or WiFi
Netmask	A netmask is used to define how "large" a network is by specifying which part of the IP address denotes the network and which part denotes the device
Gateway	Gateway of the default route - an IP address through which the router reaches the Internet
DNS	DNS servers used by the main WAN connection
Connected	Currently used WAN connection uptime
Ports	Displays an image of the router's back panel with highlighted Ethernet ports that are currently in use
