# 4.1 Internet & IP

## Internet Connection

You can quickly check the mobile connection on the `Device information` section on the front page or go to `Status` > `Overview`. 

* After successfully setting up an Internet connection on the mobile modem:

  * The `Mobile Connection` field on the column of `Device` information will shows `Connected`.
  * The `Network` section will show the current mobile network gateway in the table of`IPv4 Upstream`.

  \
  *or*<br>
* Go to `Network` > `Interfaces`, the `Mobile` interface will show `Rx/Tx` rates.&#x20;

  * The `Mobile_4`interface shows the `IPv4` IP address. *\*For `QMI protocol` only.*

  \
  *or*<br>
* Go to `Network` > `Diagnostics`
  * Click on the `Ping` button or use the command `ping outdoorrouter.com` on the `Command-line` .
  * it should return `0% packet loss` if everything is alright with the Internet connection.

## IP Address

Go to `Network` > `Interfaces`. On the rows of `Mobile` or `Mobile_4`, you can find the IPv4 IP address obtained by the mobile modem.

### Public IP Address

The mobile carrier usually provides a LAN IP address for the mobile connection.&#x20;

To verify the public IP address, you can first check the above IPv4 IP address obtained by the mobile modem. Then search *My IP* on *Google* and compare the returned public IP address with the IPv4 mobile IP address.&#x20;

If they are different, it means your router uses a LAN IP address from the carrier.

If you have the public IP address and require to access the router remotely at the public IP address, please refer to [Changing Web Port](https://ezr24.outdoorrouter.xyz/manual/4-advanced/internet-ip/changing-web-port).
