Okay well I have a Linksys WRT300N and a Linksys WRT150N. The 150N has DD-WRT loaded on it, the 300N not so much as for no support. Anyway...

What I was looking to do is use the 300N as my main router (with red(WAN)) coming in and having it set to WirelessN only, and then hooking up the 150N to the LAN as well as three other PCs and setup the 150N as G only as well as use it as a switch so I can hook up all six devices.

Is this possible? Is it as easy as it sounds or will I need to configure the 150N in any special manner?

Thanks for any help and tips, in advance,

Sounds simple. Set the second router's IP to be compatible but non-conflicting with the first's, and out of its DHCP range. Disable DHCP and UPnP on it. Connect it with a LAN port to the main router.

There should be some online instructions for using a wireless router as an access point if you need more guidance.
 
Okay. I figured it was simple but I wanted to make sure. I'm running Cat5e throughout the house and really didnt want to buy a switch. lol
