Wifi doesn't work that way.  What will happen is devices will tend to
use the the stronger signal, which will likely be your Linksys.

What you could do is exactly what you did.. disable the DHCP and NAT on
the Linksys and connect your devices to that AP.

You could also mostly eliminate the signal coming from the crappy ISP
router by putting it inside some kind of GROUNDED steel container..
Maybe a couple cheap steel cooking bowls with a ground wire soldered
onto them, and the ground wire attached to your mains ground.  Put the
AP inside the two bowls.. You'll have a nice simple 'Faraday Cage'
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage).  You also get the amusing
conversations when people ask why there are wires coming out of the
steel sphere in the corner. ;-)
