Explanation

The 192.168.1.0/24 network has valid host addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254. A default gateway must be a valid, assignable host address within the same subnet. 192.168.1.0 is the network address (not assignable). 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.255 belong to the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet-a different network entirely. 192.168.1.10 is a valid host address in the correct subnet and can be assigned to a router interface acting as the default gateway.
