"To have your custom default gateway saved across reboots, you'll want to edit /etc/rc.conf. There is a directive in there called defaultrouter which is set to NO by default. The line looks like this:

defaultrouter=""NO""

open /etc/rc.conf in your editor of choice, find this line, and change NO to the IP address of the gateway so it looks like this:

defaultrouter=""192.168.1.254""

this will be persistent across reboots."
