This field also displays the type of the network to which the selected device is
connected. The network type varies depending on the 3G card you inserted and
could be UMTS, HSDPA, GPRS or EDGE when you insert a GSM 3G card, or
1xRTT, EVDO Rev.0 or EVDO Rev.A when you insert a CDMA 3G card.

IP/Netmask This shows the port’s IP address and subnet mask.
IP Assignment For the WAN, if the selected device gets its IP address automatically from an ISP,
this displays DHCP client when you’re using Ethernet encapsulation and IPCP
Client when you’re using PPPoE or PPTP encapsulation. Static displays if the
WAN port is using a manually entered static (fixed) IP address.
For the LAN, WLAN or DMZ, DHCP server displays when the selected device is
set to automatically give IP address information to the computers connected to the
LAN. DHCP relay displays when the selected device is set to forward IP address
assignment requests to another DHCP server. Static displays if the LAN port is
using a manually entered static (fixed) IP address. In this case, you must have
another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers must be manually
configured. For the dial backup port, this shows N/A when dial backup is disabled
and IPCP client when dial backup is enabled.
Service Provider This displays the name of your network service provider or Limited Service when
the signal strength is too low or the ISP is limiting your access.
