Why doesn't Windows 10 automatically set my gateway to 192.168.1.1 after I
reboot. https://ibb.co/VTxMMdX

Every time I reboot, I get the little yellow in the corner on my "network
internet access" task bar icon, which reminds me I have to manually add the
gateway of 192.168.1.1 and then everything works until the next reboot.

route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1

This is "Ethernet Properties" "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" in

Got a spare router? Replace it.
Or add one to your current router.
You don't have to get fancy, just see if the new router solves the
issue, and if so call your ISP.

So as expected, you're going "static" according to your
two pictures.

Then, you neglected, in the

Gateway Metric

+-----+
| Add |
+-----+

to click the Add and add 192.168.1.1 ?

You're very close to having a working setup.

There's a little background on the Metric value, here.
If it will accept the Auto tick box, maybe that will be
good enough for a simple desktop situation.

I googled this a bit, and kept getting Static hits, but
it wasn't until Al posted, I realized you really were
going Static, and this wasn't a DHCP problem.

When you go Static, usually there are some rules about
where in the pool, it's best to put such things. (Depends
on whether the Router has explicit support for Static - if
not, then a Static value should be outside the DHCP range.)
Perhaps Char has some suggestions.

Since I don't use Static, I don't have the experience.
I'm a free-range DHCP user :-)

Since you're trying to add the gateway via a "route add" command and you
want it to survive reboots, you need to add the -p argument to make your
command persistent, as in:

route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1

But see below for better way. You simply have an incomplete
configuration.

Every time I reboot, I get the little yellow in the corner on my "network
internet access" task bar icon, which reminds me I have to manually add the
gateway of 192.168.1.1 and then everything works until the next reboot.

On the IPv4 Properties dialog, you forgot to add the default gateway.
It's blank in your screen capture. If you add 192.168.1.1 as the default
gateway there and OK your way out, you won't have to bother with the
"route add" command anymore.

He just forgot to configure his default gateway in a way that survives
reboots. It's blank (not configured) in his screen cap.

As a matter of interest, why have you chosen to get a static IP address by
configuring it at the PC, rather than configuring a reserved/bound address
at the router? Most modern routers have the ability to "bind" an IP address
to a PC's MAC address so DHCP always allocates the same IP address rather
than one at random whenever the PC and router are rebooted.

The advantage with doing the address allocation at the server is that if you
ever connect the PC to another network (more of a problem with a laptop or
phone than with an "immovable" desktop) you will still get a valid IP
address, with no risk of accidentally colliding with one that the other
router's DHCP allocates to someone else, or if your own subnet 192.168.1.x
happens to be different to the subnet used by the other router: some use
192.168.0.x or 192.168.2.x etc.

If the PC is never going to be connected to another network, there's no need
to change what presumably works well once you set the gateway address. My
network is a mix of the two, as I discovered when my ISP sent me a new
router. I'd forgotten that I'd set up reserved addresses for my PCs and
Raspberry Pi, but configured my printer and security cameras with static
addresses at those devices. Not sure why I wasn't consistent ;-)


One thing to be wary of with a static IP address configured at the computer.
You probably know this, but I'll mention it just in case... Make sure that
any static addresses are in the same subnet (eg 192.168.1.x) but *outside*
the range of addresses (the "scope") that DHCP hands out. You don't want the
router to hand out the same address that you've statically allocated to the
PC. My router (BT Hub One) uses 192.168.1.x with a netmask of 255.255.255.0,
so all the addresses .1 - .254 are in the subnet, but the scope is
192.168.1.65-255, leaving the first 64 addresses free for static addresses.

Paul has correctly answered why you are repeatedly asked for the default
gateway. Enter it (the center screen) in the Default gateway box.

In addition, and I'm assuming you are using your ISP's DNS servers addresses
in your router settings. Apparently they work okay but I would add an
Alternative DNS server address like 8.8.4.4 (Google's DNS server) in case
there's a problem with your ISP right below the Default gateway setting.
It's good to have an alternative DNS server even though you probably have
your two ISP server addresses in the router.
