If you are planning to upgrade the router why not keep the old one and set it up as a WEP access point only switching it on when you need to use the DS. You could possibly plop it into a DMZ from the new router so if anyone does break in they can't see you home LAN and if the new router has a proper switch they won't be able to see other traffic either.
