# Internet & IP

## Internet Connection

You can quickly check the mobile connection on the "Modem" and "Internet" sections on the front dashboard.

* After successfully setting up an Internet connection on the mobile modem:

  * The "Mobile" section displays "Connected" on the status field.
  * The "Internet" section shows IPv4 and gateway obtained from the mobile carrier.

  \
  *or*<br>
* Navigate to "Network > Interfaces" and find the first row of the "Mobile" interface to view the IP address, RX TX stream, and connection uptime.

  \
  *or*<br>
* Go to "Network > Diagnostics" and use the "IPv4 Ping" tool to check your internet connectivity. When the mobile signal is fair/strong, and there is no internet interruption, the ping tool should return "0% packet loss."

## IP Address

The "Internet" section on the front dashboard and the "Mobile" interface under "Network > Interfaces" display the IPv4/6, DNS, and gateway of the mobile internet connection.

**Public and Private IP Address**

The mobile carrier typically assigns a private IP address for the mobile connection. A private IP does not traverse the Internet and cannot be used for remote access. Check out the [IP and DNS](https://how.router.works/net/traffic/ip-dns) tutorials.

Below are the standard formats of private IP addresses:

* 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
* 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
* 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
* 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255 (Carrier-Grade)
