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.
