One thing to remember when you devices on your network performing the NATing function is that even though you may have them configured to use the same IP range (192.168.x.x, etc) they could be in different networks and as such you might have issues connecting between devices in your house.
That is why Rathji was mentioning a wireless "access point" and not wireless "router". If the wireless device allows you to turn off NATing and keeps you on the same network as your primary router it will cause wireless devices to be on the same network as your wired devices. This is great if you have a home NAS or server that you want all of the devices to be able to connect to.
The setup you want could work fine
