On the routing table, you have a default route to 192.168.1.1 from both, a route to the 192.168.1.0 network from both, and a route to 192.168.1.1 from both.
I presume 192.168.1.1 is your modem. I'd turn off wifi, because you don't need both, and eth0 will be faster. Wifi works because the first default is to wifi. Routing tables are read from the top down.
You can't have two default routes. One gets ignored.
- From any host in LAN except the router (192.168.1.1) I can reach it ONLY via wlan0 (192.168.1.185) - that is 2nd entry in the routing table.
- However, from router (192.168.1.1), I can reach that host ONLY via eth0 (192.168.1.208) - that is 1st entry in the routing table.
The reason why I want to keep both interfaces up is to have a backup link (in case one is down).
Not the world's networking expert, but you need a route to 192.168.1.0 if you want to access your internal network. You don't want to be searching the web for your private network :-/.
