I don't know what that means. How, exactly, are you viewing this

The fact that text like "WAN" appears someplace in this thing does
not mean that the WAN/Internet port on your router is involved.
Certainly, "192.168.1.1" does not suggest "WAN/Internet" to me.

Internet Port? "ping" uses ICMP, and is unrelated to anything like
HTTP. That option should do what it says that it does, which seems to
be unrelated to whatever you expect it to do.
