Building home network

[mbp13]

Hi

I have a little problem, and I'm not sure how to build up my network.

1) I have Thomson tg784 ADSL-modem with 802.11g wlan and 100mbps lan.
2) I'm going to buy 802.11n wlan router with gigabit lan.

I want to connect NAS, PS3 and Macbook (with 802.11n wlan) to new 802.11n router (number 2). They all have gigabit lan or 802.11n wlan.

I need to use Thomson 802.11g wlan (number 1) for older laptop, iPhone etc.

How do I setup those modem and router. Do both have DHCP or not? If the Thomson is the DHCP server and new router set as access point, will all data between PS3, NAS and Macbook go through Thomson?

If both are DHCP servers, can I connect with 802.11g machines to NAS which is in other DHCP network?

Why do you have two routers in your setup?

Because of this. I want to keep the speed up.

You need to convert one of the routers to an access point. See:

Ok, thanks!

But if the first one (100mbps adsl modem) is the router, and second one (1000mbps router) is access point, will all data go through the first one (100mbps)?

Or is it easier just to buy ADSL with gigabit lan and 802.11n wlan? Like this: http://www.belkin.com/uk/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=515399

Only wireless data will pass through the access point.
