Because i've just read your post, which sounds brilliant, just what i want, i think as a bit of a noob, disabling DHCP and wireless on the Superhub should just invole ticking or unticking a box, not sure how to use my primary router, a Linksys EA6500 and a Linksys E4200 V1 which is cable bridged and a Edimax Wireless Repeater which is also cable bridged from The EA6500, with DCHP?
also hoping to add a TP Link TL-WR1043ND with dd-wrt f/w in bridge, or repeater bridge in dd-wrt terms.
How do i, simply, use the routers with DCHP ?

Unfortunately the solution proposed by GM won't actually work...
I'm not entirely clear what you're trying to achieve, but a few pointers:
1. You should ideally only have one unit providing routing functionality in your network.
2. If you need to use the ethernet ports on your SH, then the SH has to be in router mode and therefore 'the' router. Modem mode disables the switch functionality of the SH.
3. Other routers can be used as wireless access points by turning of their DHCP server, giving them a management address outside the main router DHCP scope (but in the same subnet) and connecting one of the LAN ports on the access point 'router' to the main router.
4. The SH does not support DDNS so one of your other routers will need to be the main router if you need this. The SH will then need to be in modem mode (See 2) Alternatively you could run a DDNS update client on one of your PCs.
5. I would recommend putting all access points on the same SSID and the same channel for 'seamless' roaming around the house.
6. I'm not familiar with the iPhone app you want to use. Do you only need to connect to one of your internal machines from the phone when outside? If so then you'll need to sort out the port forwarding in the router to that machine.
