Thanks for reporting this.

This is interesting. There should still be a lifetime for that route, and
it should still get expired and switched over to a more proper gateway when
the router has disappeared. Evidently, something's not working properly
there. The actual metric value is the correct expected number though, to be
able to properly prefer wired over wireless if both existed and were
connected to the same network.

Would you be able to add debug logs, so that we clearly see what happens
when the route gets added ?
