Should I have 2 default Gateways?

This has me slightly confused what I have is:

My PC (192.168.2.10) -> Hardware Firewall/Router (192.168.2.1) -> Orange Livebox Modem/Router (192.168.1.1) -> Internet

After installing the hardware firewall my PC now has two default gateways - the Firewall and orange livebox: 192.168.2.1 & 192.168.1.1


The PC in the living room is connected to the firewall via a netgear switch EN 104 I think :confused: and this PC only has 1 default gateway - the firewall: 192.168.2.1

Is this normal? :confused:

Edit: I should probably also note that I have even set my system to use static addressing assigning it the IP address etc and one default gateway of 192.168.2.1 however it still manages to pick up the second gateway!

Probably just a hang up from the same setup without the hardware firewall.
Its possible its bypassing the hardware firewall though. I'm not sure how the automatic metric works when the 'cost' is presumably identical.
Just nip into your ip config and delete the livebox as a gateway,
