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.
