Routing – Why is routing not working on the Dell N2048 switch

I am in the process of replacing some older Dell Powerconnect switches with a some Dell N2048 switches. While doing this I wanted to go ahead and segregate certain areas of my network using VLANs. Here is a simple example of what I'm trying to do:

VLAN1: default, not used
VLAN10: network devices (printers, servers, etc)
VLAN20: Sales workstations
VLAN30: Support workstations

etc

I have routing enabled on each of the VLAN interfaces.

Right now I have the VLANs setup and I have the required ports set to 'Access' mode and 'untagged' with the PVID set to the appropriate VLAN.

The global gateway is set to the IP of the router. (I tried setting to the interface of the VLAN that has the network devices but it did not accept that IP)

On VLAN10 I have a port that goes to my firewall / router (Watchguard M300).

With this setup I'm able to reach other workstations in the same VLAN and anybody on VLAN10 is able to reach out to the internet. Other VLANs cannot get to the internet and cannot reach other VLANs.

If I set the router up with routes between the VLANs, I can then communicate across the VLANs with no issue and everyone can get to the internet. But, that is not what I want. I want the routing to be handled in the switch itself.

So my question is, what am I missing that is preventing inter-VLAN routing from taking place in the switch itself? I'm assuming I'm just missing something simple but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I've read through the quick-start guide, through the user guide, and watched several Dell youtube videos but I'm not finding anything that helps me out.

Some additional setup information:

The router is on VLAN10 (router ip 192.168.10.25, switchport 1/0/1). It (router) is configured with an external interface for the internet and a single internal trusted interface that connects to the switch. Right now it has two routes defined: one points to VLAN10 and one points to VLAN20. The gateway for both of those routes is the IP for the VLAN10 interface (192.168.10.16).
