Re: Will this cause any problems?

That should not cause problems, though it depends on what you want to do.

Your LAN computers won't be able to initiate connections with your Wireless computers. That's because of the different subnets.

If you need the wireless systems to be on the same subnet as the LAN systems, that should be possible. You would need to:
unplug the WAN connection to the Belkin.
using a LAN connection to the Belkin (the Belkin LAN, that is), change the Belkin IP address to, say, 192.168.68.200 - or something on the 192.168.68.* subnet. Also disable LAN DHCP for the Belkin. Then connect the Belkin to your switch with a LAN port (Belkin LAN port, that is). You'll have to reboot the Belkin at some stage. With those changes, the WiFi systems should now share the same LAN as your other systems. You won't be using some of the router features of the Belkin.

Thank you for the reply. Basically all the Belkin needs to do is offer wireless connections to the customers.

Okay. Then just use it as you are doing, and it should be fine.
