ORBI RBK50: How to programmatically capture the Public WAN IP address reported by the Orbi App
I would like to know if there is a way to PROGRAMMATICALLY capture the WAN IP address reported within the ORBI app?
When I sign in to my ORBI app, an INTERNET icon appears (along with other icons). When I select this INTERNET command button, a new page appears. Within the third secton that appears is a listing labelled "IP Address" which is the public WAN IP address assigned to my home by my provider.
I would like to know how to capture this address programmatically (VB or C# .net) either by some sort of screen scrape or by some direct command sequence (programmatically). I can see the address manually but can't figure out how to capture what I see within a program.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Which kind of "a program", running on what? I don't know what you
could do with the actual Orbi app, but, if you're willing to stretch
"PROGRAMMATICALLY" a little, then I'd expect that something like a web
browser (cURL, Wget) could be used from almost anything to access the
router's management web site. See, for example:https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/2069313
