I currently have 2 Actiontec routers, 1st one was installed by Verizon tech (Rev. F). I bought another one off eBay (Rev. E) to set it up in my living room so I can have wired connections (printer, ps3 media server and 1 desktop).
I followed this guide from dslreport http://www.dslreports.com/faq/12506 but i'm still having problem
when I login to my 2nd router 192.168.1.2
I see this on the Main Page
Broadband Connection
Coax Status: Connecting...
Connection Type: Connecting...
the "Internet" light on the router is also solid amber.
When I go to Network Connections -> Full Status
I see this
Waiting for DHCP Lease
I setup the 2nd router to handle the wireless, and every morning the wireless is gone, i have to reboot the router in order for it to work again.
Is there something I did wrong here?

How are the two routers connected? Are they connected by coax or by cat5?
The message you're seeing indicates the second router is trying to get a WAN DHCP lease from VZ on the Coax WAN interface, which it can't do because the other router has the DHCP lease.
If you're trying to bridge the two routers over coax, you should be using the following instructions.
Can I get an ethernet connection in a room with only coax?
The above instructions disable the WAN interface on the second router.
