I have a WRT1200 AC with DD-WRT ver 3.0-r30585M. Which I know is old. But before I have to update this one and the other one I am trying to get this one to work or verify it will work before I update firmware.

I am trying to have the router give an alternate gateway via dhcp. I have found the simple directions that say check the boxes for use DNSMasq for DHCP and DNS. I added the dhcp-option=br0,3,w.x.y.z .

I looked at the dnsmasq.conf file and see the line in there.

However when I have it setup this way the router status, sysinfo shows dhcp Enabled - stopped. I save, apply, reboot etc. Still nothing. If I uncheck the two boxes for DNSMasq dhcp works. However it gives the default ip of the router for the gateway. I see no way to give an alternate gateway without using DNSMasq.

Here is the dnsmasq file.
interface=br0
resolv-file=/tmp/resolv.dnsmasq
all-servers
strict-order
domain=8th
dhcp-leasefile=/tmp/dnsmasq.leases
dhcp-lease-max=10
dhcp-range=br0,192.168.168.201,192.168.168.210,255.255.255.0,1440m
local=8th
expand-hosts
dhcp-option=br0,3,192.168.168.1
dhcp-option=6,4.2.2.2,8.8.8.8
domain-needed


Any help is appreciated.

I rebooted the router and looked at the dnsmasq.conf file again and there are two lines for dhcp-options=br0 lines as seen below.
interface=br0
resolv-file=/tmp/resolv.dnsmasq
all-servers
strict-order
domain=8th
dhcp-leasefile=/tmp/dnsmasq.leases
dhcp-lease-max=10
dhcp-option=br0,3,192.168.168.7
dhcp-range=br0,192.168.168.201,192.168.168.210,255.255.255.0,1440m
local=8th
expand-hosts
dhcp-option=br0,3,192.168.168.1
dhcp-option=6,4.2.2.2,8.8.8.8
domain-needed

In the GUI I see now where that this replication is happening. If I VI the /tmp/dnsmasq.conf file it just gets written over and adds the second line. I assume since the file is wrong, 2 dhcp-option=br0,3 lines the service fails.

Where can I manually edit the source file?
