Option one:
    Wall cable to modem, moden to internet port on wireless router. Forget
the Computer.

Option two:
    Ditch the Wireless Router in favor of a Wireless Access Point. The is
the wrong place and the wrong way to use a NAT Device, which is what the
"wireless router" really is. They are not real routers, they are just NAT
Devices similar to typical Hardware Firewalls but with less features.

The thing you mentioned about, "...VPN access to the mainframe undisturbed"
doesn't make any sense to me, I don't know what you mean by that nor how you
expect the wireless router to accomplish this.
