iface wan inet dhcp
Default Gateway:
When static IP Address setting is used, add a default gateway is to set another
keyword “gateway”. For example:
iface wan inet static
address
192.168.1.2
netmask
255.255.255.0
broadcast
192.168.1.255
network
192.168.1.0
gateway
192.168.1.1 # This will set default gateway to
#192.168.1.1 on WAN port

but the new settings will not be saved to the flash disk.
