I see your point, only if wirus could control router, and router
revealsit's own LAN address
am I wrong to assume this?

The router *WILL* reveal its own LAN address, because it must act as
the default gateway for the wireless PCs. Therefore, any PC connected
to the wireless network will, by default, know the IP address of the
router and will have a route to other networks--including your LAN.
