The diagram is too long for the list in .eps format, so I'm resending it
with the diagram in .dia format. Let's hope it displays properly on your
system.
The .eps file worked fine but that was probably because the email was
sent directly to me as well.

The first issue is that you haven't described your network configuration
at all. Is this the main router that goes to your ISP device or is
there another router/computer/device that does that? Is this router
connected to your network through the WAN or LAN port?
Very good questions, which I should have answered. It is not the main
router to my ISP, but a secondary one. A diagram of the system is attached.
You still missed the important question of which port you used to
connect the new router to your network.
The way I configure networking is that I have a computer running Fedora
that is the primary gateway and router for the network and then I have
wireless routers acting only as access points connected to the network
through the LAN ports. No DNS, no DHCP, just connecting wireless to
wired network.
Surely the most versatile way to set up a router is to build your own. I had
hoped to avoid the trouble and expense.
You already have a main router, so you don't need to build your own.

1. What is the device android-a81a750feb8c4486? There are only two
devices connected to the router by wires. Very odd.
That would be an Android phone.
Unless this router is the primary routing device, it is unlikely to see
any devices on the wired network.
Exactly what I thought. How would an android phone appear on network
management as a WIRED**device, particularly as I don't remember using
one or plugging one in
This suggests that you might have connected this router to the main one
using a LAN port, which is a recipe for disaster if not configured
correctly. In that case, the Android device might get a DHCP answer
from the new router over the network which is how it would show up there.
Suggestions:
Turn off the DHCP server (and DNS if possible) on this new router. If
possible, set the router to get a DHCP address on the LAN side. If you
can't, then set a static address so that you can access it in future.
Connect this router to your existing network using the LAN port. This
should make things work the way you want.
