Static route works fine after being configured but is ignored after reboot or WAN link down (e.g. disconnect / connect the WAN cable). The below traceroute commands demonstrates the issue. After restart the router route destination 192.168.1.10 over the WAN port instead of 192.168.0.2 on the LAN port. After edit/save of the static route in the router without any changes the static route is fine again. The below attached log demonstrate it.
I have not tested older firmwares as the issue has been around for several years.
Netgear / anyone please advise.
Kind regards,
Per

Re: R6220 - static route ignored after restart or WAN link down.
Hi TeamT,
Good day!
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
First of all, we do apologize for the inconvenience of not getting back to you immediately due to the backlog in the system. Please try downgrading the firmware and see if the issue persists once you reboot the router. If yes, please let us know so we can have one of the Support team to contact you and coordinate with ourt Engineering team.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need further assistance.
