The WAN Configuration screen allows you to manage how your VeeaHub connects to the Internet (the backhaul). To access it, tap Wide Area Network from the Dashboard.

Backhaul connectivity typically uses Ethernet or Wi-Fi, and may include cellular as a fallback. If you’ve subscribed to Veea’s premium 4G/5G Failover service, cellular can act as a backup when other connections are unavailable.

Only the gateway VeeaHub (MEN) manages WAN settings.

WAN Prioritization and Failover

You can enable or disable available backhaul types (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Cellular) and set their priority. Drag and drop each type to reorder them—when the primary backhaul fails, the next available one will take over automatically.

If a backhaul (e.g. cellular) is metered or costly, you can enable Restricted Backhaul mode. This reduces the frequency of system management traffic to once per hour, helping minimize data usage. Note: Application data is unaffected.

Configuring Wi-Fi and Cellular Backhaul

• Wi-Fi: Enter the SSID and passphrase for your Wi-Fi connection. Tap the eye icon to reveal the password.
• Cellular: Input your APN, username, and passphrase (check with your cellular provider). Tap the eye icon to reveal the password.

WAN Interfaces

1. Tap the Ethernet under Wide Area Network.
2. Tap the Interfaces tab to configure each WAN port.

This screen is only available on the gateway VeeaHub (MEN). You can configure up to four interfaces, including port assignment and VLAN tagging. These settings should align with your LAN configuration and, in enterprise environments, should follow your WAN administrator’s guidelines.

Configuration Fields:

• WAN Enabled: Enable each WAN interface individually.
• WAN Name: A label for identifying the WAN.
• Port: Select which physical port to use.
• VLAN Tag: Optional VLAN ID. A value of 0 means no VLAN tagging.

WAN Reserved / Static IPs

If your WAN does not support DHCP, you can assign a reserved static IP address for the gateway VeeaHub.

To configure this, tap the Ethernet under Wide Area Network and set the following for each WAN interface:

• CIDR: Reserved IP and subnet mask in CIDR format (e.g. 192.168.0.10/24)
• Gateway IP: The gateway address for your network
• DNS 1 & DNS 2: Nameserver IPs to be used for DNS resolution

This configuration ensures stable WAN connectivity in networks without automatic IP assignment.
