I guess I found an error:
1. You have a typo in the IP address 192.169. - Fix at 192.168.
2. Correct duplicate names in /etc/hosts.

after restart, everything should work.

Oh MY! Thank you. I never saw that! after weeks of messing with this.

I'll correct that and see if that fixes it.

Might be an opportunity for some error checking on the config screen :)

That was it! wow.. after all this time, a simple typo that I never saw.

Two takeaways... perhaps this is an opportunity for tighter error checking. Apparently when a dhcp assignment is outside hte subnet range, it silently ignores it. if it is to be ignored, maybe better to issue a warning?

Now the DHCP IP is assigned to the MAC of the router #2
The "connected wireless host" at that same IP is assigned to the bridge.

that seems correct.
