E3000 and E4200 can extend wireless but when snafu disabled DHCP
Hello
None of the many posts on the extension of the wireless here really solve my problem (I'm not a tech superstar so I need a little handholding).
Currently use E3000 as my router. My House is a wonderfully old brick structure with awesome cast thick walls and cool hardwood floors (Yes, I already drilled twice to drop the Ethernet wiring and run it in my basement to the back of the House to come and connect to a switch where is my office to win 8) Excellent results.
Now, I'm going to die just to run the wiring to the front of the House under the said floor so that I can bring it and attach a 2nd router. My sister-in-law gave me (just gave me, you the spirit wouldn't let me pay him!) sound E4200 that she can no longer use a reason any.
Goal: Best performance for a front of House wireless (my bedroom upstairs and the porch on the main floor, where routers are / will be.) With the additional router in front of the House I will be finally in a smart cable TV. I must just have better wireless at the front of the House b/c I do a lot of work here lately.* *.
1. what router do you recommend using as the main router?
I tried to configure the e4200 (since the 3000 is already) and following the directions on all workstations. I updated the firmware, so the two routers are underway. My understanding is that I need to put the 4200 (Router 2 "") in Bridge Mode and
set on the same channel current wireless router 1 (3000).
2 should I put the 2.4 and 5 Ghz on separate SSID Router 1? If so, what do the SSID Router 2?
3. If Router 2 has a separate SSID or should it be identical to my current network, that is, the Router 1?
4. I understand that Router 2, you must disable DHCP because Router 1 is that work. BUT whenever I do this, in the process configuration, I can't get connected turn it on to Router 2. I changed the IP address. Router 1 is 192.168.1.1 with assignments up to 192.168.1.149. So I do 2 router 192.168.1.2. Is this good? I do this, then it restarts, and I connect in 192.168.1.2 "page not found".
5. the way I go about it is:
-My Office 8 win (I call him Victor, FYI) is connected via a cable (switch) to 1 (E3000) so LAN router and I use to see what my settings are there (and here I'm typing this post).
-My Win 7 laptop (Richard, FYI), this is where I work on Router 2 (the E4200). I have cut all connection without wire, then PC cable to Router 2 and connect to Router 2 and from there.
That's what I should do? ***
6. am I correct that Router 2 must be in Bridge mode? Whatever it is, please teach me - it means I'm setting up to repeat the signal or as a little separate LAN that is connected? Which is better, in your view, given my objectives, above? When I'm on 'the extension', it would be ideal to be able to go to the first/main network and send things my printer / PC is there, but I'm willing to put up with less of this in order to get the good signal in my areas of work from the home front.
Note also that the family and I move and use several devices, so it would be fantastic if me and her husband and son and daughter (think: several tablets, phones, computers laptops, desktops, printers, scanners, blah blah blah in this House - I know, I know a lot more about networks I've always wanted to know!) can just get the signal stronger as we move.
Thanks for any help you can give and of course I would knew what key information I can be left out. I'm really dying to get up and running.
Position outside to clear my head, but will be back.
Thanks again.

I recommend using the E4200 as your main router.
Cascade the E3000 with your LAN E4200 to LAN.
Cascading 'LAN to LAN' instruction in the link below:
In waterfall or connect a Linksys router to another router
Thing to keep in mind when cascading a router:
- Change the IP address of the secondary router to something like 192.168.1.254 so its on the same network, but is not in conflict with the main router
- Make sure that the DHCP service is disabled on the secondary router
- Make sure that nothing is ever connected to the Internet port on the secondary router
- Have the different SSID of 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz
- Duplicate configuration on routers wireless, but make them broadcast on different channels or put the chain wireless on 'Auto '.

Computer can see wireless but does not connect
I have a new HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 running under Windows 7 64-bit. The computer can see the wireless network, but when I try to connect to them I get a pop up saying "Wireless: assocaiting" followed by a saying "Wireless: disconnected" and the connection never works. In this case connect to any wireless network. I know that networks and passwords are correct, because my phone and iPad can connect to them without problems.
I've updated all the drivers via Windows Update and also the SP support Assistant. I tried to uninstall the wireless driver and allowing windows to discover and install from scratch. Nothing seems to work. I see a similar thread a few years ago in the forums but no resolution. I never got so so boredom before wireless connection and I can't help but suspect a hardware failure.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thank you
Phil
OK, I realize, but this cannot help others, after raising a warranty with HP call, it turned out that my problem was hardware after all. HP sent a technician to replace the network card, but when he opened the laptop, it turned out that the antenna is detached from the card wireless altogether and reataching it solved the problem.
Like I said, probably not much help to anyone because it was a specific question, but I thought I would post the result anyway.

Hi, I have Internet data in my package and I just switch to an iPhone a 4S 5, I have to change my number to my new sim card and all is works well but when I go out I do not receive my internet, No 4 G or 3 G appears in the corner, everything is turned on?
Contact your carrier and make sure that your account is configured correctly. Then go to settings/general/to comments and press the network name; This will cause the exceptional carrier updates to install (you will see a dialog box saying if an update is needed). In addition, go to settings/general/reset - Reset network settings if none of these fix. You will lose the WiFi passwords, but nothing else.
