why not do route delete default, down the wireless, then route add 
default 192.168.1.1 (and maybe even throw in an interface tag at the 
same time to make sure)

ive never really had luck with the change command, if i was on the same 
lan as the box, i always just delete the default and re-add it.

just my 2 cents worth
