That's OK, I didn't even know there was software specific for it. I've
always used the web page.

Wait, you have the main network as 192.168.1.x/24 then the 2nd router as
192.168.8.x/25? /25 is smaller than /24, sure, but .8.x/25 isn't a subnet
of .1.x/24.
Also, can you recommend a method for taking several addresses and finding
the smallest common subnet/netmask that covers them? I've been doing it by
hand.

Does the 2nd router get an address via DHCP? Its address should be out of
its subnet, right?
