Thanks very much for both your suggestions. Although neither actually resolved the problem by itself, they both gave me ideas on where to look.
I failed to mention in the first post that I was using a Ubiquiti wireless station/router between the 192.168.1.1 router wireless LAN interface and the 871W router ethernet WAN interface. The purpose of this was to connect wirelessly to the 192.168.1.1 router on it's WAN interface and provide routing on it's ethernet LAN interface to connect to the 871W WAN interface.
I was doing this so that I could take the 871W(with the compact Ubiquiti router) to different locations and hook up to various wireless networks with a minimum amount of reconfiguration. The only reconfiguration could be done easily on the Ubiquiti device which is a much simpler programming interface. I am using the 871W strictly for getting familiar with the Cisco IOS, so I wanted to be sure that I had a reliable connection setup and could focus on being able to configure other options in the IOS.
This Ubiquit bridge was incorrectly addressed so it was never able to talk to the 871W WAN interface. This was part of my problem, but definitely not all.
I reconfigured the addressing on the bridge so that the WAN side of the 871W could finally get an internet connection via the 192.168.1.1 router.
Then I reconfigured the addressing on the WAN port of the 871W. I did incorporate the default router instruction and I finally picked up on the addressing inconsistencies while checking the wireless and wired client side of the 871W.
Everything is working fine now. I am using the 871W to write this reply. Below is a copy of my basic IOS running config.
