to use the LAN for networking and to use the wireless connection for internet

It sounds like you are still trying to keep the wired and wireless on
the same subnet with different metrics. With a configuration like that
you can't use wired and wireless at the same time.

You need to put the wireless router AND the wireless network adaptor
which connects to it onto a different subnet and change the default
gateway to this new subnet.
