My question here is, if a laptop has a virus that uses this router
to access internet, how could it access my LAN, since it would have
no choice to be in different subnet, and IP range. How could it
attack, if it can't seeanything but wireless router?
Many viruses/worms/trojans have the ability to try to scan/penetrate
address ranges other than their own, as long as they have a route to
that network. By the nature of the fact that this wireless router
will be the default gateway for these wireless clients, and by nature
of the fact that this wireless router will be plugged into your LAN
behind your Internet firewall, that gives them potentially unfettered
access to your LAN via the wireless router.
They don't necessarily need to be on the same subnet--they just need
IP connectivity, and that they have in your proposed configuration.
