Monitoring WWAN Status

If you have an LTE/5G device detected/connected to one of your firewalls, the DEVICE > WWAN page offers monitoring information for that device.

The first panel provides connectivity data and modem status, and the second panel shows a graphical representation of the device’s signal strength. The third panel, WWAN Network Status, shows you the IPs of the router, subnet mask, and DNS server.

When using an ATT WWAN modem, your panels might appear like this.

If no LTE/5G device is detected/connected on one of your firewalls, you get the following message on the DEVICE > WWAN page in the Signal Strength section:

No Device / Not Detected.

Without a connected LTE/5G device, the WWAN page displays the current status as follows.

RAT Mode and Signal Strength displays are not supported on all modems. For modems that are not supported, the display defaults to RAT Mode = LTE and Signal Strength = Good. You should use the “Click to Access Modem” feature to access the management interface of your modem and to see additional information about signal-strength, mode, and so on..
