Hi Chris,
You could try a technique used by VPNs that avoids redefining the
default route. The default route is used when nothing else matches so
you create a "virtual" default route that takes precedence by splitting
the ipv4 address space in two.
ip r a 0.0.0.0/1 via "wireless gateway ip" dev wireless_device
ip r a 128.0.0.0/1 via "wireless gateway ip" dev wireless_device
That should accomplish what you want.
