yes, that's what I do.  I have ended up with two routers one with an
adsl modem and one with a switch.  I use the one with the modem on the
outside (obviously) then I have a hub to which my the other router (with
wlan and lan switch) and my monitor connect.  I have disabled the
firewall on the outer router and set up the one on the inner one.
