If I understand your purpose correctly, it's what I do here.  I have two wired-only devices (xbox and HTPC) which need access to the internet without running ridiculously long cables.  I connect both of them into a generic DD-WRT firmware'd router which joins the wireless network as a client bridge (you can also use "client" and keep the subnets separate).

In my case, I provide multiple SSIDs from my wireless AP (Aruba) so I can separate the networks at that level.  If your wireless router can only present one SSID, then you might prefer to separate it at the "client" mode AP instead of using client bridge mode as I do.
