Looks perfectly fine to me. 192.168.24.0 with a netmask of 255.255.252.0 
(a /22 subnet) means the address range is 192.168.24.0 - 192.168.27.255. 
Both your PC and router are on this network. Generally, an 
internet-connected interface will always have two entries, one for the 
network itself (the second line here) and one for the gateway (the first 
line).
