Check the routes by netstat(1) with options "-rn" (-r option to lists
the routing tables; -n option to list only the IP addresses, not host
names).  Below is the output on my machine (without localhost) ...

  #  netstat -rn | grep -v '127.0.0.'
  Routing tables

  Internet:
  Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
  default            192.168.2.1        UGS         0     6903   iwi0
  192.168.2          link#1             UC          0        0   iwi0
  192.168.2.1        00:04:e2:7c:c0:ca  UHLW        2       61   iwi0    511


Route can be changed first by deleteing it by running route(1) with
command "delete" (specify a route to delete) or "flush" (remove all
the routes).

Set "defaultrouter" in /etc/rc.conf with the value of IP address of
your router to avoid manually running route(1).  I have ...

  #  grep defaultrouter /etc/rc.conf ...
  defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
