The default gateway for a network should bean IP address within the subnet, butnot the broadcast address . In this case: * IP: 192.163.1.15 * Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 * This means thenetwork rangeis: 192.163.1.0 - 192.163.1.255 * 192.163.1.255 is thebroadcast addressfor this subnet, so itcannot be used as a gateway. Hence, the device fails to communicate outside its subnet because it's trying to use abroadcast addressas its gateway. #The issue is clearly with thegateway configuration.
