address for the WAN is also referred to as the WLAN Data
MAC address unless a spoofed MAC address is used. (See
Spoofed MAC Address later in this table)
WAN IP

The public IP address assigned to your cable modem by your
ISP. The WAN will be assigned a public IP address by your
cable service provider. The WAN IP address will be shared by
all the PCs in your private local area network to access the
Internet

address to obtain the public WAN IP address in place of using
the WLAN Data MAC address assigned at the factory
