Thanks. Did you describe Operating Mode - https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/images/5/55/Static_Routes_2.png ? Where are Gateway, Router, BGP and other modes? If so, thanks, probably missing some bits to understand what will happen if I change from Gateway to Router.

You will loose NAT and connection tracking.
If your router is connected to the Internet leave it in Gateway mode (actually I would usually leave it in gateway mode because it either does not matter (bridged/WAP) or has a habit of breaking things, on older slower routers or if you really have problems with dual NAT (like VoiP) you can make a case for router mode if the router is internal behind another router under your control and which supports static routing) _________________ Routers:Netgear R7000, R6400v1, R6400v2, EA6900 (XvortexCFE), E2000, E1200v1, WRT54GS v1.
