Your main router will still be gigabit to any gigabit devices, unless those devices are attached to the DIR-615's internel switch, in which case the most you'd get is 100Mbit. If you get a small desktop gigabit switch to connect your PC and your DIR-615 to it (so your DIR-615 just acts as a WAP), then you'll still get gigabit to your main PC, NAS, etc still, you'd just be limiting any devices connected to your DIR-615 wirelessly to 100Mbit, which shouldn't be too much of an issue as even at 150Mbit wireless you'd be lucky to see 100.
