Piggy-backing onto this thread:

I'm in a similar position as Brannigan's Law but I'm with Shaw for our home. Would this be a smart setup?

Shaw router -> Asus wireless router -> switch -> devices & Wireless Access Point for upper floor

The main difference with my intended plan is that I'd like to keep the Shaw router in bridge mode, have a hidden SSID via Asus router which will then be repeated via the Acess Point.

If it matters, here is the hardware that will be in play:
Asus N56U router
Netgear 24 port gigabit switch will buy this: http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX14063
Dlink N645 for access point
