Do you want a repeater (routers connected via WiFi) or an access point (routers connected via Ethernet). Only an AP will likely help, repeaters almost always make things worse.If you want an AP do the following. Reset the EA3500 to defaults. Log in and give it a LAN (not WAN) IP in the same LAN range as the Netgear. Disable the DHCP server.

Configure the WiFi the same as on the Netgear but on different channels. Then the key part, use an Ethernet cable to connect them LAN to LAN, do NOT use the WAN port on the Linksys.You probably want to reconfigure the Netgear into router mode first unless you have a specific reason for it to be in bridge mode.
