That might not work, at my university they use 802.X for authentication and I think dd-wrt support this, but I don't think standard firmwares do. So then you'd need to use repeater mode as then authentication is handled at the devices again and not the router. Also using NAT will cause all the problems that NAT has and repeater will avoid these.
