There are some solutions that would help. 1.: - Connect the WIFI-Router to the "blue" network (you need 3 network cards) - cause wifi could be unsecure... (you should take WAN-Port on Router - for correct statistics and SPI-Firewall) - Modem to "red" (DHCP on Modem should give Endian correct IP-Adress) - Intranet "green" (secure) - just connect to a switch to use more computers - DHCP on WIFI-Router for wireless devices - DHCP on Endian-Firewall for cable-connected Computers - be sure to use different subnets for each network
2.: (2 network cards) - Modem -> WiFi-Router (WAN-Port and DHCP for both enabled) -> switch with virtual local area network -> one port to Endian on "red" -> over "green" back to the switch and 2nd VLAN for secure network (with DHCP) on the other ports (you need at least a switch with more than three ports - but VLAN switches usually have more ;-) -- here the wifi-devices are not able to connect to the secure network cause they are in the "red" area; you would have to use port-forwarding for special services. After a second time reading your request; use the WAN-Port of your WiFi-Router to connect to the "green" area and let the router use DHCP for grabbing the adresses from Endian.
