Default Separating Wired and Wireless Networks

Hi all

OK so this is maybe a bit OT for the group, but here goes.

I've never been a fan of wireless, so cabled the house up with Cat 5 to
a number of rooms. There are clearly now numerous devices that will
only connect wirelessly and I am under pressure to add a WAP.

I've inherited a Netgear DG834G wireless router, our existing network
uses the wired version of this device. I have set up the wireless
router as a WAP OK, but wondered if it is possible to configure it as a
DHCP server with a different address range to the wired router.

Not sure how much security this would add, but I'm inclined to do as
much as possible to separate the wireless network from certain wired
devices. The SSID of the WAP is hidden and MAC address filtering on
that router is in place.

Anyone setup a separate wired and wireless network?

TIA

Phil
