[Voyage-linux] Voyage 0.8.0 - "Route add" command doesn't work

[Gustin Johnson]

A better option would be to use:
ip route add default via 1.2.3.4

Also, I would define the interface  with this:
ip addr add 192.168.1.101/24 dev wlan0

You might also need to set the interface with:
ip link set wlan0 up

All of these can be set (including DNS) in /etc/network/interfaces so
all you should need to do is "ifup wlan0" and "ifdown wlan0".  This
will also occur when booting up or shutting down/rebooting.

I would also avoid using an IP that is in the range of IPs that your
DHCP server issues.  From looking at what you posted I am going to
guess that your DHCP server is using 192.168.100 through
192.168.1.200.  Try setting the IP to something else, like
192.168.1.20 or whatever makes sense to you.
