Right now, I have a wired router with a 802.11b access point. I want to upgrade to 802.11G. Would I be able to have a wired router with a wireless router? Would there be any problems or anything?

You can not have two Routers configured as Routers on one Network.

Option 1. Leave the Wired Router as the main Router you can use the Wireless Router as a Switch with an Access Point.

Option 2. If you make the Wireless Router your prime Router you can use the Wired Router as a Simple additional Switch.

Option one might give you a capacity to put the Wireless at better Transmission Location, and get a better Wireless coverage.
