Br0 IP managed by VM - how to set its gateway?

Question

This is br0 config:
/etc/netctl/bridge
Description="Example Bridge connection"
Interface=br0
Connection=bridge
BindsToInterfaces=(internal)
IP=no
Gateway='192.168.7.1'
## Ignore (R)STP and immediately activate the bridge
#SkipForwardingDelay=yes
It receives DHCP IP from a VM, which means that after a host reboot, there is a time gap between br0 is up, and the VM is up and have its IP online (192.168.7.1).
The problem of which I think this is the cause, is that the gateway does not get set up and I have to do it manually after each host reboot with:
ip route add default via 192.168.7.1
I tried adding it to root dcron with
@reboot sleep 90 ; ip route add default via 192.168.7.1
but it doesn't work. Besides, it is an ugly workaround, anyway.

Will the above method work on a set up with a Verizon Modem to a DLink wireless router to a Time Capsule?
I know of no reason why it would not. Whenever there is another router ahead of the Time Capsule, the Time Capsule must be configured in Briddge Mode. My network has 4 routers. The "main" router is setup to handle DHCP and NAT and the other 3 routers are setup in Bridge Mode. No problems.
Weird thing is Air Video set up tells me I have a double NAT
Double NAT occurs when you have two routers on a network both set up to handle DHCP and NAT services. Your Verizon "modem" may be a gateway....a combination modem/router on the same chassis. If that's the case, then every other router on the network must be confgured as a "Bridge".
If you have the "main" router on the network setup to handle DHCP and NAT, in theory, you can have multiple other routers on the network as long as they are all setup in Bridge Mode. In Bridge Mode, DHCP and NAT are turned off, so the other routers simply pass through the network information from the main router. It's by far the easiest way to configure multiple routers without having to go into special DMZ, port mapping, etc type of configurations.
