Need some help with my home network setup

New Around Here
Okay here is my setup and what I will be wanting in my network.

I have my cable modem connected to my WRT54G (running DD-WRT). Connected to the WRT54G is a 5-port gigabit switch that is connected to my main computer, my server, my network printer and another gigabit switch (via a 50ft cat6 cable).

The second gigabit switch is in the living room connected to my HTPC, PS3, Xbox 360 and my Panasonic VT25. I would like to setup a wireless client in the living room so I don't have to run 50 feet of cable along the wall.

The only things that connect to my wireless network are two laptops and two iphones, so I am not too worried about wireless download speeds. However, I am looking to have a wireless N access point to wireless N client since I stream HD content from my server to my HTPC.

It looks like none of the dual band routers support dd-wrt with good performance.

Anyone have suggestions on a router or multiple router setup?

A dual band router would be nice and then I could add a strictly wireless N router as a wireless client and use my WRT54G for wireless internet.
 
Why do you require DD-WRT? It doesn't improve performance.
I'd stay with the cable for HD streaming. You can add any router converted to an access point to support your laptops and phones.
