HELP - Connect router downstream of WAP to create a subnet?

[lemonadesoda]

OK, I'm working offsite. I am given access access to the internet via wireless "g". That's all dandy for my laptop, but:

I want to create a small local network (private to me) so that I can network 4 devices PC, printer, NAS and a small ISDN-over-Internet telephone.

Is it possible to get a regular WAP to access the main network, then configure a mini-network behind the WAP using NAT? Or do I run into all kinds of DHCP and NAT issues that will fail my setup?

Target:

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

I see no reason why your diagram wouldnt work, as long as your private network is on a different network range you shouldnt have any dhcp issues as NAT takes care of that (still 1 external IP, multiple internal IPs even if it is going through an AP in bridge mode). It might simplify things a bit if you could give the router a static external IP. I think you could also probably achieve that with a Linksys WET200 ethernet bridge running a VLAN if your method doesnt work for whatever reason.
