Network Structure:
Cable modem connected to main router running DD-WRT. Two cheap Rosewill routers (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166064) also running DD-WRT are connected to the main router in what I believe is a client bridge setup. These routers connect to the main router wirelessly. They do not broadcast wireless signals and the computers and switches connected to them are done so with a wired Ethernet connection.
Problem:
The network works perfectly fine most of the time. However, when a particular laptop is connected to the network it seems to connect to the local network, but there is a yellow exclamation point and it does not have Internet connectivity. As soon as I power off a particular desktop, the laptop can connect to the Internet just fine. This particular desktop is connected to one of the Rosewill routers via Ethernet.
What can I do to fix this? Previously the desktop that seems to be causing the problem was setup with a static IP. I removed the static IP setting and rebooted the router and modem and it worked fine for a couple of weeks, but more recently the problem has reoccurred. I would like to not reset all the routers to the default settings. I can't remember how I setup the two bridges, but it took a lot of trial and error that I would prefer to avoid going through again.

I actually found a bulletin from "INTEL" stating that the 2.4ghz wireless adapters could have a problem functioning since the USB 3.0 unit produces a "NOISE" or even a frequency that interferes with these things!!! You got to be kidding me, oh yeah!! I even found an HP post on it but...really not much more then that at all!! SILENCE...ridiculous, they need to fix their hot 3.0 USB flash in the pan system. I just purchased a 4 port one and am waiting on a "card reader" with another 4 ports!! Oh my goodness, what a waste. They seem to stop broadcasting after a minute or two of pulling the connection but that kills surfing while trying to do anything with the port. I couldn't believe it but thank God I found it. Please pass this on and sure hope it helps you...now that is easy
