Type [[{{{name}}}_Mobile#Mobile_Configuration|Connection type]] or [[{{{name}}}_WAN#Common_Configuration|protocol]]. The value displayed in this field is dependent on used WAN type. 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

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 front panel with highlighted Ethernet ports that are currently in use.
WAN Failover Status Displays the router's current WAN failover status.
