Nighthawk R7000P saying "Invalid Subnet Mask" when trying to add static route.
Hello all! I got a Nighthawk R7000P not too long ago and I cannot add a static route, because the router says "invalid subnet mask" even know I am pretty sure that subnet mask is valid. I am not sure if that is a firmware bug or something. If it is not, then I might need some assistance on this. The information will be below. I will not be disclosing my actual IP Address because of privacy reasons but I will be giving an example of what I want.
Private: No
Active: Yes
Destnation IP Address: 192.168.2.0
IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP Address: 192.168.1.190
Metric: 2
Firmware Version: 1.3.2.134_10.1.66
The reason why I want to set a static route, is because I want to route traffic over to a Cisco 2921 Router because behind that router I have a another network that let's just say that it is 192.168.2.0/24, I want to route traffic to that network, so both networks can communicate to each other. I am not sure why my router is doing this. If someone can help me out. Please let me know.
Best regards, Ian

Your example looks fine to me, but that might mean very little if what you're actually doing is different from your exhibit.
"255.255.255.0" would normally be a swell subnet mask, and the error message could be misleading. Or the fictional garbage which you're posting could be misleading. With my weak psychic powers, it's tough to say.

I have a better idea. Let's just say what you're actually doing, and stop wasting everyone's time. If these addresses are all private, then there's no reason to hide any of them. If they're not all private, then you might need to explain in more detail exactly what you're doing.
Also interesting would be some information on which of these routers is connected to your ISP (and how), and how they're connected to each other, and how they're configured.
