    Hi,

    I'm really confused what's going on… My WAN IP address is like this (Not my IP just example)  xx.xx.237.109 but in routing is shows xx.xx.236.1 it's using DHCP4. I have internet access and everything seems to work, but I can't access it from the internet and forward my ports I need.

    Any clue?

      Even on the console it shows the real IP address xx.xx.237.109. Just in routing shows the wrong IP address.

        By "in routing" you mean Diagnostics -> Routes? What does Status -> Interfaces say?

          And what is your mask, a /23 would be like that your gateway is 236.1 and your interface is 237.109

          What do you mean you can not access your 237.109 IP from internet?

          What does the first couple of octets look like if starts with 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x or 172.16-31 then your behind a NAT.  And no you would not be able to directly access from the internet say 192.168.237.109 address.
