WAN

The WAN section displays information about the Main and Backup WAN connections. The figure below is an example of the Mobile page:

Field	Description
Interface	WAN type. Possible values are: Mobile Wired Wireless
Type	Connection type or protocol. The value displayed in this field is dependent on used WAN type. Possible values are: Mobile WAN QMI - 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 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). This field is only visible if main WAN is set to 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
Backup WAN Status	Displays the router's current WAN failover status
Refresh	Refreshes all information fields in the page

WAN settings can be customized via the Network → WAN page.

Wireless

The Wireless section displays information about wireless connections and associated WiFi stations.

Wireless Information

The figure below is an example of the Wireless Information section:

Field name	Description
Channel	Currently used channel. In most countries there are 13 WiFi channels on the 2.4 GHz band (14 in Japan) to choose from
Country Code	Indicates currently used country code (SO/IEC 3166 alpha2 country codes as defined in ISO 3166-1 standard)

Wireless Status

---

The Wireless Status section contains information about Wireless Access Points. The figure below is an example of the Wireless Status section:

Field name	Description
SSID	The broadcasted SSID (Service Set Identifier) of the wireless network
Mode	Connection mode. Can either be Access Point (AP) or Client. In AP mode others can connect to this router's wireless connection. In client mode router connects to other wireless networks
Encryption	The type of WiFi encryption used
Wireless MAC	The MAC (Media Access Control) address of the access point radio
Signal Quality	The signal quality between router's radio and some other device that is connected to the router
Bit rate	The maximum possible physical throughput that the router's radio can handle. Bit rate will be shared between router and other possible devices which connect to local Access Point (AP)

Associated Stations

---

The Associated Stations section contains information about devices that are connected to Wireless Access Point. The figure below is an example of the Associated Stations section:

Field name	Description
MAC address	Associated station's MAC (Media Access Control) address
Device Name	Currently connected device name
Signal	Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). Signal's strength measured in dBm
RX rate	The rate at which packets are received from associated station
TX rate	The rate at which packets are sent to associated station
