Alright, here's what route says before any changes:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
after ifconfig is ran 192.169.0.0 changes to 208.187.181.0
'route add default gw 192.168.0.1' returns:
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
