Setting up a router as a repeater?

I want to use my Belkin N+ router as a repeater for a wireless-G router. Unfortunately, I'm not so sure the N+ is supported by DD-WRT. Can anyone either tell me an alternative way to do this?

My only requirement is that two separate networks remain; one being pure N and the other being G. That way, I don't have to compromise the full capability of an N network without restricting wireless devices that are strictly G-compliant.
I've considered both Connectify and bridging the two routers, but my research tells me that both of those methods would require me to give up ^that.
Currently, I'm thinking something along the lines of plugging in the router to a computer connected to a wireless network, and then simulating the hardware of a router on my computer.
I'm using 64-bit windows 7.
Thanks in advance.
