It occurs to me that default gateways must be on a local network? So my attempt to change dnsmasq settings probably wouldn't have given me the result I want because the new default gateway is a couple of hops away from the devices connecting to the access point.
indeed, you cannot pre-determine the way that the IP packet will take on the sender. You can only send it to the next-hop/gateway and from there it gets forwarded (according to the gateway's routing table). Thus, the gateway must be directly connected. ... possibly you could create an overlay network/tunnel (Vxlan?), but depending on your use-case, it seems better to instead get the routing right.
