    I currently have a tp-link mr-3420 router that shars my 3G internet connection and runs the DHCP. Downstairs i have a tp-link wdr-3600 that is bridging with the this router and has DHCP turned off. So my network is extended and accessible downstairs too but only on the 2.4ghz that both support.
    The wdr-3600 is a more feature rich router and has 5ghz as well. If i change it so that i run the DHCP on that and have the mr-3420 bridge it, will i be able to access the internet still or do i need to run the DHCP on the router serving the internet?
    ideally i'd like to be able to access the internet over both 2.4ghz an 5ghz freqs.
