Figured it out. I had given the router a netmask of 255.255.255.15 (last
two quads, in binary: 1111 1111.0000 1111). Windows insists that any
netmask has a contiguous string of 1s. So I couldn't match the netmask.
Oops. So I performed a hard reset, which made everything factory-fresh,
then fixed it. Who knows if it honored that bizarre netmask.

Now I can contact either router (i.e.: go to their web page) from any
computer.
