The WAN IP address of the router depends on the configuration. On my
router, it is the "real" IP address. But I have the modem set up to
do the PPPoE connection, not the router. The DSL modem is still
192.168.0.1, and has a nice status WEB page. the LAN address of the
router is 192.168.1.1, and the WAN address is 68.248.xxx.xxx
