Where can I find the “static route” setup page? I can see one in an image in the below topic but I can’t find it anywhere in my gateway with firmware “1.2.0065_Release r209”.
(RAK7258 - Use WiFi as WAN - #3 by davezap)
Thanks.
Hei this is what is available now. You can set the WAN interface to have a static IP via the
Netwrok-WAN Interface tab. This is for the latest firmware r209, what you are looking at is pretty old as it was back at r159.

I’m looking for the static route page, not a page to set a static IP address. I find it hard to imagine that static routes were available in r159 but removed by r209!
Thanks.
Hard as I might be I think there were major changes with r176 and up so, this might indeed not be there anymore, or anywhere for that matter. I at least can’t seem to find it.
I suspect it was in the WAN interface static address page, this is why I put the image there, just guessing though I can’t remember that far back.

Do you think this could have been lost accidentally at some point or removed on purpose?
If I manually add a static route using /etc/config/network…
When is this file parsed, only during startup?
Is this likely to be lost during firmware updates?
Thanks.
Hei @igloodan ,
No idea maybe @yutao knows, actually he knows for sure.
As for what is retained at startup this is a question only @yutao can answer.
I suspect things change with the evolution of the firmware, there is a lot of time between r159 and r209, maybe more than a year.

At a certain point as a power user you may want to disable the luci layer and just interact with uci directly.
Rigging up a console RS232 cable wouldn’t be a bad idea for fallback when leaving the gui behind either.
Hi @igloodan If you add a static route using /etc/config/network, you have to execute /etc/init.d/network reload ( or just do a reboot). The change will not be lost during firmware updates.

Do you know why the static route page was removed, are there any plans for this to be re-instated?
Thanks.
