Can't ping address I use for gateway

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi,

I segment my network into three networks. And at some point I was not able to ping my default gateway address any more.

I am able to access any IP address on 192.168.100.0/24 network from any network on OpenWrt router such as Raspberry Pi, except IP address of ISP router.

It must be some configuration issue, because when I reset settings I am able to access ISP router and hence the Internet.

Remove the gateway from here:

And remove it from here, too:

and remove the broadcast from this (it's both unnecessary and also incorrect):

Then restart and test again.

Thank you. I removed broadcast address and it works as expected now!
That broadcast address is obliviously wrong. I probably selected wrong field in luci when I was entering default gateway.
