Try using the correct network prefix and see what that gives as a result. So that would be:

#ip route add 10.176.0.0/14 dev wwan0 src 10.178.202.42 table voda

Most online subnet calculators should do. I personally use this one if I run in to a situation where I can't be bothered to calculate myself
