To see the router's WAN address, look at its status on its web configuration page.
Do this! Put your Ooma behind the router. I have had my Ooma behind my router ever since I got it few years back.

I wasn't comfortable to put any of my network device out directly on the internet, vs having the router to be the one interfacing to the world.
