If I tracert my external ip address.What results should I get?
I cant look into the settings because of some weird redirection to a less friendly version of the router settings that lets me do nothung. Also may I ask why would I keep fing mobile devices on my local network that just shows a mac address but not connected to my network?They may be blocking the PING / Trace routes to the modem, or the modem has a setting to block it. You will need to look in the settings. I have Cox and I was able to trace route to my modem.
That may be due to how the ISP is allowing the access.I cant look into the settings because of some weird redirection to a less friendly version of the router settings that lets me do nothung.

Try to do a tracert to the WAN IP address. Failed trace means you do not have it.How would I know wether it does or not?
I wouldn't say there is a real need, but it can be convenient. For example, say I want to view an IP camera from a remote location. I set up port forwarding, and then want to test it. If my router has that loopback (which my TRENDnet does) I can simply test from my LAN. If I did not have it I would need to leave my nice comfy chair and go somewhere to test with a cellular connection or another LAN.Well if it does why do I need loopback?
