You need to setup your IP on the same subnet as your router,  Check the 
documentation on your router and choose an address NOT given as a DHCP 
address.

Many routers start their DHCP pool at 100, so you could try:
ifconfig rl0 192.168.2.10 255.255.255.0

Then:

route add default 192.168.2.1

This would work as long as the 192.168.2.10 is outside the DHCP pool.
