If you wish to be able to see the router whilst connected from wireless 
only (e.g to administer without moving stuff around), there is 
*probably* a configuration option "admin via wireless" in your router 
setup page. It will be currently set to "false" - setting this to "true" 
will allow you see access the admin pages from a wirelessly connected host.

If you choose to enable this, then be sure to enable security (WEP or 
WPA - preferably the latter) and perhaps restrict MAC addresses allowed 
to connect.
