The extra line you have is the route for all traffic NOT on the local network and so it should not change ping-ing the router on the same network.
Just to be sure I have added a default route (to my AP/router) the same as your settings. Alas, this does not seem to have made any difference. At first I suspected that I had missed something basic but now I fear that have found a more difficlut to find problem. If someone doesn't point out where I have stuffed up I will resort to systematic trail-and-error with all settings (wireless channel, essid, etc.) just in case there is an obscure bug I can identify.
