        The gateway on the WAN interface should be a different IP address than the WAN interface itself, yes. Usually they will be in the same subnet.

            Your provider should give it to you if you are configuring this statically.

            It will be a subnet mask like 255.255.255.248 or /29 in CIDR notation.

            The current subnet will be shown in Status > Interfaces if it's DHCP.
