Mobile

The Mobile section displays information about the mobile connection and the SIM card in use. The figure below is an example of the Mobile page:

field name	description
Data connection state	Indicates whether the device has an active mobile data connection
IMEI	The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique 15 decimal digit number used to identify cellular modules. GSM network operators use the IMEI to identify devices in their networks
IMSI	The IMSI (international mobile subscriber identity) is a unique 15 decimal digit (or less) number used to identify the user of a cellular network
ICCID	SIM card's ICCID is a unique serial number used to identify the SIM chip
SIM card state	The current SIM card state. Possible values are: Ready - SIM card is inserted and ready to be used Inserted - SIM card is inserted Not inserted - SIM card is not inserted Unknown - unable to obtain SIM card state value. Possible communication issue between the the device and the modem
Signal strength	Received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measured in dBm. Values closer to 0 indicate a better signal strength
Cell ID	The ID of the cell that the modem is currently connected to
Signal level measurements	Overall signal quality is defined by different measurements for different connection types. Short explanations and recommendations are provided below. Click here for more in-depth information or click on one of the links below: 4G RSRP - reference signal received power, measured in dBm. Values closer to 0 indicate better signal strength RSRQ - reference signal received quality, measured in dB. Values closer to 0 indicate a better rate of information transfer SINR - signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio, measured in dB. Higher values indicate a better rate of information transfer 3G EC/IO - downlink carrier-to-interference ratio. Values range from -20 to 0 (closer to 0 indicates better signal quality/cleanliness) RSCP - received signal code power. Values range from -124 to 0 (closer to 0 indicates better signal stength) 2G RSSI - received signal strength indicator, measured in dBm. Values closer to 0 indicate better signal strength

Possible values are: Mobile WAN 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
WAN Failover 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.
