Is it necessary or helpful to add "Gateway" address in the dhcp box.
My setup is
AT&T modem--->Opnsense router----> 16 port switch

For example my LAN IP or VLAN IP
192.168.4.1
255.255.255.0

DNS 8.8.8.8
Gateway 192.168.4.1

Hi!

The info for this feature says:

Quote

The default is to use the IP on this interface of the firewall as the gateway, if a valid (online) gateway has been configured under System->Gateways. Specify an alternate gateway here if this is not the correct gateway for your network. Type "none" for no gateway assignment.

So in any standard setup: No, not needed.
