Does the router let you subnet its port and wifi connects?  It does
subnetting, it may also provide a choice if the subnet is private or
shared.  Another possibility are the virtual networks that Char
mentioned -- oops just read your reply and your router doesn't do VLANs
so it probably doesn't do subnetting, either.  The router has its own
subnet mask specified but I'm talking about putting ports and wifi into
their own subnets (aka segments).  

I haven't played with enough wifi routers to know if some routers let
you subnet them differently than subnets for the wired ports.  I had a
DLink ages ago (it died from heat after a little over 2 years) that let
me isolate each wired port.  Didn't even have to bother with subnetting
which probably means it was a feature of the router's built-in firewall.
I missed that feature when I had to replace with a Linksys.  Just
because the family shared the router didn't mean I wanted their traffic
on my network [subnet].  Basically it looked like 4 routers similarly
configured for each wired network.  Didn't see a similar firewall
feature in the manual to which you linked.
