Ok not quite a laptop question per say but you guys might know, So we have a large house with plaster walls and something in this process murders wifi (we also are strangely in a 400 ft diameter cell blackspot) so to fix this we have twin wireless N routers, one upstairs, one in the basement. The Unit in the basement is a Belkin N600 connected to our cable modem, it is broadcasting on both 2.4 and 5Ghz, WPA2, channel 11. The unit upstairs is a Belkin N150 configured as per their site as a wireless access point, WPA2, ABGN, Channel 1. It is connected with a 50 ft Cat6 line to the N600. The ICS Nook tablet in my bedroom upstairs (where the N150 is located) refuses to connect to the N150, it authenticates and such (telling me it's not signal overlap) but will not connect on "Obtaining IP Address"... help!

Belkin is nothing but trouble, just not reliable hardware.
Is the second router setup as a AP or as a router? Try power cycling the routers. Main first wait till it comes up before powering the second one. Are your SSID visible? Can you connect via nic cable? Are the SSID's the same or different.
Try a scan to see if any other networks are in your area that may cause interference.
Nasty network issue, help!
