So next up then … I have a connection and an IP address of 192.168.205.1 subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 and no gateway address. As a result I'm connected but I can't get to any resources (typically found on my network at 192.168.10.0 and 192.168.200.0)….
I added the 192.168.205.0 network to my static routes pointing it at the LAN interface on 192.168.254.254 which seems to be where the other internal LAN's point.... but obviously without the client getting a gateway address that could prove tricky... Should I add a gateway of 192.168.205.254 ?

What do you expect to accomplish with that?
The 255.255.255.255 mask says that every address is on a different network and has to be forwarded through the router. But then, assuming even that could possibly work, you've not specified a gateway to pass through.
You have to specify a valid subnet mask that can support all the devices on your LAN. 255.255.255.0, more properly specified as /24, is commonly used. Then, if you want to be able to forward traffic elsewhere, you'll need a gateway address.

@JKnott well not much if I'm honest.... to be clear I haven't set that... In mobile clients I've ticked the "provide a virtual ip address to clients" box and specified 192.168.205.0 with a mask of 24 (as per the instructions I think).
I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do to be honest (all a bit new to me) which was sort of the point of the post.
All help gratefully received.
