Ok, so I’ve been trying to set up a static route on a Netgear Orbi mesh router for the past few days and I just can’t seem to figure it out.

A quick back story. I was using bridging for all of my docker containers, but I decided to use a custom br0 network and give all of my containers their own IP addresses. After making the change, I am no longer able to access my local containers when connected to the VPN.

Unraid tells me I need to set up a static route of the following. Remark: docker containers on custom networks need static routing 10.253.0.0/24 to 10.0.0.4

However, I only have the following options on the Netgear router. Destination IP Address, IP subnet mask, Gateway IP Address, and Metric

I’m not exactly sure how to get this working so I can once again access my docker containers over the VPN.

I honestly have never worked with static routes and I can usually get things working by tinkering for a bit, but I’m at a loss here.

What am I doing wrong? Is there just a limitation with the Orbi system, or am I just an idiot? 😂

Thanks
