I'm currently using a similar setup. I just used a crossover cable to connect one port on my wireless router (NetGear) to my wired router (D-Link - this is also my print server). I reserve an address for my print server in tcpip config on my wireless router and restrict the number of addresses that dhcp can assign to lock down my network.

To do this and make it work, I had to change my default lan addresses. For example, this is what my wireless connection looks like:

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.246
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.245

I use my wireless router as a dhcp server and disable dhcp on my wired router. Since I only have 3 computers (at most) on the network at any given time, I restrict my IP address range to 192.168.2.246 - 248. I can always edit this if I have guests that need access. My print server is assigned 192.168.2.100.

If I need wired connections, I can plug into either router.

Hope this helps.
