WAN IP Address
The WAN IP address is an IP address for the Zyxel Device, which makes it accessible from an outside
network. It is used by the Zyxel Device to communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be
static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the Zyxel Device tries to access the Internet.
