Not easily. The Touch will not run off both wired and wireless simultaneously. You have to go into the setup menus and select which way you want it to connect.
There are two ways with external boxes to do what you want, a wireless bridge, or a router which gets its WAN fron your wifi router. There are many wireless bridges on the market, some with 4 port switches, you plug the Touch and NAS into this, they talk direct to each other and get internet from the existing router. The problem is that you are getting DHCP from your existing router, if your wifi signal is bad or you have significant interference the Touch and the NAS may not be able to get to the DHCP server, which means they won't be able to talk to each other, even when plugged into the same box. A better approach is a router whose wireless port is setup to be a client on your existing wifi network. Most won't let you do this out of the box, but most of the third party firmware will. (openwrt, DD-WRT etc). This is usually called something like client mode. SOME of the wirless bridges can also be configured this way but not all. The advantage of this setup is that the local box is your DHCP server, so the NAS and Touch can always talk to each other, no matter what the existing wifi network is doing, but you can still connect to the internet when you get a good signal or no interference. Now it IS possible to use a straight wireless bridge and still have the NAS and Touch always be able to talk to each other, BUT you will have to manually setup static IP addresses and gateway info etc on the NAS and Touch. It certainly can be done, but is a little more work.
