Usually a metric is used (at least in Windows) to set the priority of a network interface. 1 is the lowest (first priority).
I believe you can just ignore it.

In that case you'll need to edit the route table using the command line.
Typing "route" in ssh shows the routing table which lists metrics.
"route add" is what you are looking for but I don't know any of the remaining required syntax.

Sometimes metric is very useful.
For example, I got a backup ISP uplink : )
Check your routing table:
Modify the route:
Code: Select all
ip route del default via 10.0.0.1 dev br-lan proto static
ip route add default via 10.0.0.1 dev br-lan proto static metric 110
