B,G SMC can I use both to cover more?

I have upgraded from an SMC7004VWBR router/wired/wireless AP to an SMC2804WBRP-G router/wired/wireless AP to take advantage of 802.11g. All is working fine. I have found a dead zone on my front porch and I was wondering if I can use the old AP to cover that area? I have a 802.11g card in my laptop. I need a solid connection more then speed. I know G looks back at B but I am not sure how to add the second router/ap. I only have one Ethernet port on my computer and it is used by the G router. If it would work how do I wire it up and what settings should I use? Thanks for all your help.
