What does just ifconfig (by itself) say? And route by itself? What's
your /etc/network/interfaces file like?
I think the 69.254.163.253 is the IP assigned dynamically by your
router. Or it's your router's IP. But I think 69.254.163.x is your
outside IP.
I'm not familiar with ip. Route shows me:
upstairs# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default phone 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.43.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0
upstairs#
Where phone (in my hosts file as 192.168.43.1) is my default gateway,
I think DHCP ,makes that the default route, maybe I set it manually
(not in a year or more).
You can play with the metric numbers too if you want to assign
priorities. I'm procrastinating trying to get wifi, dialup and an
ethernet printer working on an XP box. It thinks the internet is the
printer, it goes nowhere until I disable that interface.
Ah, OK, I cheated and looked it up:
route add default gw {IP-ADDRESS} {INTERFACE-NAME}
from
https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-setup-default-gateway-with-route-command/
You need both "default and "gw" in there.

No, I won't call it "climate change", do you have a "reality problem"? - AB1JX
