Yes that is correct. The issue if there is one will be the new WAP reconnecting to the WiFi hotspot on demand. You may have to keep the new WAP switched off - no affect on anything internal but no internet - until you have switched on the hotspot then switch on the new WAP. Set the Linksys WAN port to get a DHCP assigned address from the hotspot. Also make sure that the AP built into the Linksys uses a different Channel to the new WAP and hotspot. You may also need to set the DNS server address in the DHCP part of the Linksys if its DNS relay doesn't work correctly - I'd opt for 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (Google's open DNS servers) which should work through the hotspot. Normally the DHCP in the Linksys will give clients its own address (e.g 192.168.1.1) as their DNS server.
