Description

In the DHCP server settings the gateway option reads:

"The default is to use the IP on this interface of the firewall as the gateway. Specify an alternate gateway here if this is not the correct gateway for your network."

After updating from a mid-April beta to the 20-Jun beta this appears to no longer be the case. If this field is blank a gateway (Router) will not be sent with the DHCP response. If a gateway is specified in pfSense, things'll work as expected. See attached screenshots to see the two different DHCP offers (with and without gateway specified).
