John,


Set you wireless on it's own subnet in front of your other router.  The 
subnet should be different from your current subnet.  If your current 
subnet is 192.168.0.0, the make the LAN subnet 192.168.1.0/24.

Have it receive the signal from your DSL/CABLE modem.

Assign an IP to your router/firewall.

Allow the wireless router to run dhcp for the subnet in a range of 100+

Leave your current router setup as usual but set it's WAN IP as the IP 
you assigned it in your wireless.

This gives you a firewalled wired network and still gives you 
flexibility to have ad hoc wireless connections.  Of course, you could 
have a MAC access list and WEP encryption.

Or am I missing something here?
