Not packets, frames. AppleTalk uses it's own frame type, which isn't the same as normal Ethernet. Some devices support it, others don't. Also, note that you won't be *routing* between the wireless and wired LAN segments, you're bridging. The routing is between either of those segments and the internet segment of the router.

If you want a router in between the wireless and wired sides of the internal LAN, the cheap internet routers won't do this. You could put the single-port Internet side on one side of the LAN and the wireless on the other, but that seems in conflict with what I understood you to be saying above. However, all of the internet routers I've dealt with *can* map different port maps to different internal IP addresses; not just one. The limitation they usually have is that they'll only pass unfiltered traffic to one IP address.
