Most wireless routers can be set up to act as an Access point only
and do no routing.
This would be the preferred setting along with security WPA TKIP
Along with the caveats that Tom and others mentioned it is not that difficult.
Plug router in from port on hub to wan on router. Get into router
view web, set security and then turn it into access point
only. (Turns off DHCP)

I have an office with an 8-port Ethernet router on a broadband cable
connection. I have been requested the ability to provide some
wireless capability temporarily (for outside auditors). I have a
spare 4-port wired/wireless Linksys broadband router, and I was
wondering if I could "daisy-chain" the latter to the former by using
a cross-over cable between one of the Ethernet ports on each unit. I
know that I can daisy chain Ethernet hubs this way, but have not
ever tried to do it with wireless (802.11a/b/g/n) connections.
My other thought is to plug the wired/wireless into the broadband
connection and then patch the 8-port hub into that.
Before I start chasing "the impossible dream", I was wondering if
anyone had tried it or had any thoughts.
