Couple of questions to get better idea of your network:

- do all your workstations get a public dynamic ip from isp thru that 
wireless router (then it is configured more like a bridge?), or does the 
router just get a single public address and the issues dynamic private ip 
addresses (like 192.168.x.x) to the workstations?

- does your server also have its network connection thru this wireless box, 
or is it located elsewhere and you would like to make the backups to the 
server over the public internet?
