You need to tell users what the WAN IP in the router is. They don't need to know what the WAN Default Gateway is.

| I have never seen a WAN gateway ip in a router and would like to know what the difference is from the WAN gateway ip and WAN ip. The attached image is from the westell 7500, which is a modem as well as a router, so I am not sure what you mean by "WAN IP in the router is". |

Any device you connect to a router uses the routers ip address for the default gateway, the router also has a default gateway even if it is not displayed |
