Here's the thing: I have a cable modem router (Thomson TCW710) with wifi-g that I rent from my cable company. I would like to use a wireless-n router (D-Link DIR-655, that I received for free) with it in order to take advantage of the faster wifi. I basically need advice on how to architecture my home network with these two beasts.
What configuration should I need to apply on my old and new router to make it all work?
The two routers will of course be connected together with a RJ-45 cable.

Disable the DHCP-server on your new router and connect it through an RJ-45 Patch cable to your cable modem. Just configure your new router as a Wi-Fi Access point. (With WPA-keys and such) Disable the Wi-Fi part of your cable modem.
