Adding E2500 as second router but it won't let me change IP address

I've been looking all over for some posts on this, to no avail. So that's why new post.
Was using E2500 router for my mom's router (so I could install a Roku). All went well, until a couple of months ago, it just sponaneously stopped working. (Go figure.) To make a long story short, I ended up reinstalling the firmware and then when it failed again, I bought her another router to get her up and going. I figured, I'll use the e2500 to add it to my own network to extend the coverage etc.
I understand that I need to log onto the router just PC to router to reconfigure: disable DHCP and set IP address to 192.168.1.2. Yes, i have read many posts in the KB; particularly of use was the one on cascading routers. I'm going LAN to LAN, and basically just want to make the e2500 into an access point that I can both plug into and use wirelessly. (I will be running cable through my basement from one end of the house to the other.)
I should note that I turn off my Wifi on my laptop (Win 7) so as to not pick up the signal from my main router (E3000) and of course I disconnect from LAN. Also I have done a factory reset on the e2500 (30 30 30 rule). (Although, when I get logged on, it somehow remembers the name I gave it when it was at my Mom's....weird, no matter how many times I do it.)
First of all, every time I log onto the router, it makes me re-upload the firmware (and wait and wait) every time. OK.
I log onto the e2500, just PC to router, after it prompts me to upgrade the firmware, I'm in. On one of these rounds, I turned off DHCP, and that seems to "stick". HOWEVER, when I change the IP address to 192.168.1.2 and/or change the router name to the name I want, when I click Save, it just takes me out to the logon again. And it doesn't save the new IP address or name, which I see when I go to the page to verify.
OK so I'll keep the old name, just let me change that one digit in the IP address. No go.
I've spent so much time on this, both here and at my mom's. This router has been very difficult to work with. What should I do? Thanks for any and all help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

as soon as you turn off dhcp then your pc can't get served an ip anymore. So, two choices, set your pc to a static ip before you start or set the ip of the router then turn off dhcp on the router and then connect it to the main router so it will serve your pc an ip from the main router. but from all the other issues you mentioned it sounds like it may be a bad router at this point. maybe it got a power hit or something?

I have 6p from a gift card left in the English store and can't spend it. I want to change to the Irish store as I have an Irish gift card for me to redeem but it won't let me change store. Also I don't want to use a credit card for the last 6p.

You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials. This deletes the account and your synced data from your phone, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

I often use credit card for iTunes but also use iTunes but systems won't let me change back to my iTunes. I have redeemed and gives me a balance but I am unable to access.

If you can't find anything for exactly that amount then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will remove the balance for you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I am a member of Adobe Send Now I need to edit a contract I designed here but it won't let me change anything on the Contract.

I am a member of Send Now and have several PDF files for small Dog Rescue.
I need to change several things on the forms but it won't let me make changes.
It tells me to pay for this & I am paid up till 2017 on the Adobe Send Now?
Help I don't want to rewrite the whole contract to change a few simple things.

Hi Lana Gahagan,
Adobe Send is a service used for sending large files. It does not provide you with the facility to edit or create PDF. Also, as suggested earlier in the thread, using Acrobat you can edit the PDF.
Thanks,

i live in canada and am trying to sent a calendar to friends in the US in the edit shipping address section it won't let me change the country. what am i doing wrong?

You can only ship Apple products to the same country as the credit card used is billed to. So unless you have a credit card with a billing address in the States you won't be able to ship direct.

HT1491 Added a I tunes card but it won't let me use the money how do I use it

Hi I've just topped my I tunes account up with a I tunes card and it won't let me use my money on there

What I mean is what is happening when you try to buy the movie? Does the cost of the movie exceed to amount of the gift card? Many areas/states/countries add a sales tax or a VAT to the purchase that will exceed the card amount.
what exactly is happening? Describe?

Can see different brush size options but it won't let me change the size

When I'm in Flash CC 2014, I go to the tools menu, then the brush size option, and I can see all of the various brush sizes. I am able to click any size, but when I go to draw, it keeps defaulting to the same size over and over. I'm completely unable to change the brush size. Any ideas?

i am using a wacom bamboo fun cte-650 as my tablet
the pressure sensetivity is disabled, and the tilt option is disabled as well.
i am running flash CC 2014 = Version 14.0 - Released June 2014
and we have tried this with just the mousepad, and the tablet, neither seem to let us change brush sizes
i have attached a video of the issue taking place

I changed my email address on my appleID but it won't let me change it in iCloud on my phone.

How in the world do I change the appleID under iCloud settings on my phone? The text field is grey and it will not let me change it at all. I got a new appleID and I want to change the **** thing but it's not letting me. How frustrating. Anyone know?

Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
Then enter the new ID and password.

HT4059 I downloaded a book and added it to my itunes, but it won't let me put it onto my iphone 5 from there. Any suggestions?

I downloaded a book from bookry and it added to my itunes, but when I try to add it to my iphone 5 from there nothing happens. I don't know what else to try. Any suggestions?

Hello evergreenchiro,
You may want to take a look at the article "Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store" and just download the book directly to the iPhone. the relevent part of that article will be found under Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS > Books on iOS
Hope that helps,

I can't send emails, I have tried to go to smtp and change the outgoing email username and password but it won't let me change it!

I have tried to change the smtp username and password but I am not able to even click on the areas to change them. Any suggestions?

Some other thoughts .....
Are you sure there's not an issue on the Yahoo server? Have you checked your email on a computer or via a web browser on the iPad like Safari?
If there is no issues on the server side, the options in my mind are.....
Delete the email account and start over
Reset all settings>Settings>General>ResetAll Settings - you erase all settings on the iPad and start over
Restore from a backup.
Just wait until a little later - or tomorrow and see if you can connect again.
If you just started experiencing this issue today, and if you are a regular iPad backup person (I do it every single day) then you can restore from a backup from yesterday, the day before or from whenever your most recent backup is dated.
You said that you have two other accounts that will not work either so maybe resetting the settings would be the first thing to try. You should be able to at least enter the correct information again if you reset the settings.
I mysteriously lost the ability to connect with one of my email accounts some months ago. I deleted the account and went nuts trying to add it back to the device and I could not get it to work again. I deleted it again and restored from my backup and all was good to go again. Your backups contain your email settings so when I restored from the backup, it restored the email account settings and it worked again.
