239.0.0.0
The modem has several acceleration techniques that it uses. I wouldn't rule out that path being necessary for one of them to operate through. If it gets added on it's own after a reboot it might be doing so because that's when it's ready/needed to be used. Adding it prematurely could actually be detrimental in the long run.
Just my 0.02.

If I reset the device the routing table comes back with the 239.0.0.0 added again. I need to know if I should have this route as it has once again disappeared ? What is this route for? I thought it might have something to do with the wireless bridge...? Thanks for any feedback as I am clueless.

If everything is working alright, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
I know, inquiring minds want to know. :>)>
