adding a gateway in r6900

my setup is as follow

from fiber ONT , lan to lan r6900(not using wan) , i want to use r6900 dhcp and not my fiber ont

when i am setting up lan i cannot specify the gateway(fiber ont ip) hence i either have to setup manual gateway on all devices(which is impossible) or use ONT DHCP which i dont wanna use. 

how can i setup gateway as i dont see any option in lan setup (unlike tplink) , is there a way around or some other setting which will fix this for me. 

thanks in advance

   What is it?  Maker?  Model number?

   If your "fiber ONT" really os an ONT, and not a NAT router, then why
would you expect that to work?

   Why?  Is there some actual problem which you are trying to solve?

   If your "ONT" has DHCP, then it's more than an ONT.  What is it?

   Why the odd-ball LAN IP address?


   Start again.  Describe your equipment and your goals.  Forget about
how you think that you can (mis-)configure the R6900 to do whatever it
is that you actually want.
