   I have a somewhat similar setup.   
   - Two network cards, no wlan.   
   - one is the internal network, fixed ip-addresses   
   - the other is the external network, dhcp from the modem/router   
      
   In addition there are a couple of PCs which only have one network card   
   and use the ones above as gateways.  They are configured to use a fixed   
   ip-address as a gateway and I have to update their settings to use the   
   other one.   
   Writing this reminds me that the IPV6 routing is currently not working,   
   it did under Leap 15.1 and maybe 15.2 but not any more.   
      
   Fixed IP Adresses means I use wicked rather than Network Manager, radvd   
   is my IPV6 routing software.  Originally I had the gateway(s) set up as   
   dns caching servers but nowadays I have the clients pointing to external   
   servers.
