Massive disclaimer that this may not work, but I don't see why it shouldn't.
Plan B is to get them to switch it, and you can allways call back to back out af any time.

Will this cause issues if the DIR-645 doesn't have client mode? As well, there could be channel interference with the second wireless router.
I think the best thing to do is call Shaw first, then install the wireless router. You will still have a wired internet connection after the modem is bridged, should you need it.
If any of you need some help PM me and I can call you and walk you through it.
