Indeed I can use that to set an IP against a specific gateway, but 1.1.1.1
isn't set as a gateway to go through, so I get "SIOCADDRT: No such process".
(The syntax is okay though, as I can use the command with the eth0 gateway
without issue to go through there.)

Apparently to add a second gateway, I have to use a second routing table,
and against that table add the wlan0 gateway and route the IP.
