Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.1 Build 20231207 Rel.61384

I have an er605 that i would like to be able to set static routes on, however I am unable to set a static 0 route on the wan interface.  If I use another device to run DHCP i can get the router to work but I really just need to set a static 0 route.   When I try to enter at 0.0.0.0 route with subnet mask of 0.0.0.0  on a wan interface I get invalid parameter message.   When using DHCP on the wan interface the routing table reflects there is indeed a 0 route in this format.  

 

I need to do this to properly set the metrics on these routes

Expected. WAN interface routes are auto generated and the system creates based on the WAN info.

There is no option to replace the WAN routes which people can incorrectly set it and mess up the network. That's not allowed.

 

I don't know why you need this but as for the system, this is normal.
