I am looking into obtaining the WAN ip address from a TRB255 router. I found some posts on the old wiki with some broken links.  
So far I am doing this:

> ip -o -4 ad list dev qmimux0 | tr -s ’ ’ | cut -d’ ’ -f4  
> I’d rather use something more solid if available (even though this works ok)

Hi,  
I would suggest to use API if its done in remote system.  
[https://developers.teltonika-networks.com/](https://developers.teltonika-networks.com/)  
If its done in router you can use API too or:  
`ifstatus mob1s1a1_4 | jsonfilter -e '@["ipv4-address"][0].address'`
