Can't locate WAN address!

Seems silly but I can't locate the WAN IP address in the (version: 2.62.115) Google Home app. As instructed, I go to WiFi -> Settings -> Advanced networking ->WAN Connection and see the selections for DHCP, Static, etc. and below that it shows "WAN IP" but then nothing else. When I click on WAN IP, the "button" flashes but does nothing and there is no IP address listed. Am I in the right place? I'm sure I've seen it in the app before.

I see my WAN IP at the place you are describing. Google Home v2.62.1.15 on Android with the beta interface/public preview.

If you just need to find out what your WAN IP, you can go to the following web page for instance, while being connected to Nest Wifi:


I don't work for Google.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm thinking that there's a problem with the iOS app.

As usual, the story is deeper than I presented as my modem is actually a router and is not bridged so the Nest's WAN address is actually just what it gets from my modem - messy, but there's a reason for it. Anyway, I was able to log into the modem and get what I needed from there. It just frustrates me that the app isn't working as it should.

Thanks again.

Thanks, Abigail. Oddly enough, the app is now happily is displaying the WAN address whereas previously there was just a blank space. I don't know what has changed but suddenly, it is back!
