Guest Wifi Advice

A wise man seeks counsel...

See the attached image for my current set up. What I would like to do is add a Guest Wifi VLAN so when all of my teenagers friends come over, they can have internet access but still go through my firewall/proxy but NOT have access to my home network.

I have added an additional NIC to my Sophos Gateway, and am willing to flash my Linksys router to DD-WRT so I can use the VLAN features.

Can I run a VLAN for JUST the Guest Wifi? My internal network is NOT using VLANs today. Should I repurpose the WAN port on the Linksys router to be my guest Wifi vlan and run 2 cables from the Linksys to my Sophos gateway, one for the Guest VLAN and one for the Internal non-vlan'd network?

Please shoot holes in my idea or give me any advice.

Thanks!

Well - I went ahead and flashed the Linksys to DD-WRT... have 2 SSIDs for wireless but not tied to separate VLANs yet. Have to figure out how to do that in DD-WRT.
