DG834G v3 Manual: DHCP

gateway should be serveed by dhcp on the router. it doen't look like its a configurable setting. maybe try toggling dhcp off and back on to try to reactivate it.

Looks like you need to verify that this isn't a static field you entered on your network adapter. As OP said, if you are using DHCP the default gateway is handed out by the DHCP Server (router) handling DHCP requests.

Your IP is 169.254.xxx.xxx

That usually happens when your laptop's network adapter can't find a DHCP server to get an address from. Your laptop is giving itself a IP address, hence why you have one in the first place.

Most of the time restarting the router solves the issue, and sometimes after you also have to restart your computer.

And why is your pic upside-down?

Make sure TCP/IP 4 settings are set to "auto". Usually this happens when somebody is playing around where they shouldn't be and leave these blank.

I also forgot to say that because your laptop is giving the IP address, that's the reason why you have no default gateway.
