The gateway address 192.168.1.254 does not lie within one of the chosen interface's subnets.

Hi,
I'm new to pfSense, but this error makes no sense to me

• The IP of the WAN interface is static, 192.1068.1.253/24
• I use the box as a router, its internal IP is 192.168.1.254/24
  When I try to add the box as a gateway to the WAN interface, I get the above message.
  I'm (very, use it for over 20 years) familiar with FreeBSD, also familiar with networking, but I don't understand this message, which is for me inadequate
  Thanks for help,
  Regards,
  Xavier
  PS the routing table has indeed no default route :

@xavier8854 said in The gateway address 192.168.1.254 does not lie within one of the chosen interface's subnets.:

192.1068.1.253/24

Typo perhaps?

Stupid me !
I didn't notice that the CIDR popup near the WABN address was by default /32. Setting it to /24 fixed the problem
Sorry
