Incorporating Netgear wireless router

I currently have a DSL connection and 4 PC's connecting to the Internet via a Netgear wireless router. Two PC's (desktop and server) connect via ethernet cables to the router while a laptop and Mac mini connect wirelessly. I'm going to be adding a machine running ASL 6 to replace the functions of the Netgear router and establish a DMZ for the server. However, the Mac still needs to access wirelessly because of it's location in another room.

How would I go about 'attaching' the netgear router in this mix with the Astaro box such that the mac can still wireless access the internet behind the ASL 6 firewall?

Thanks.

Velvetfog,
like your idea of address ranges. The reason for the netgear router to be incorporated into the local LAN is it has a wifi interface. Further if you have networked printers using low end network devices they "don't pass through" routers, so your wifi users can't access the printers.

Printers can be shared through ASL networks easily enough.

Not when you block them because they make too much network noise.

Dropping broadcasts shouldn't affect anything.
