Yes it is do-able, but to do so securely either all your computers need a separate firewall or you setup a firewall computer with at least three network interfaces in it.
In the former Linux, OS X, and Window XP all come with a firewall. You may need help setting up all but the OS X one, which is dead simple to configure (go figure.)
In the latter case, you take a spare pc, preferably an old one, and load a firewall distro like IPCop. In it you shove three interfaces and you setup one as the Internet facing or Red interface, another for your wired network or your Green interface, and finally the third is connected to your wireless network and is referred to as the Blue interface.
Regardless of the security setup, on the wireless router setup you remove the WEP key the MAC address filter, and finally turn on the option to separate each wireless client into their own little network (I can't recall where this setting is located.)

It can be done
