LinkSys Router an access point that has access to the internet only and no other networked components

Hi,
I have a scenario where I need to make a LinkSys Router an access point that has access to the internet only and no other networked components. ie other computers. It is a corner bar and we cant have people gaining entry to the computers. It is currently set up with an ip address on the network and the gateway ip points to another router to get to the internet.
So, the topography is DSL Modem to Internet Router/switch, (which has three computers on it), Linksys wireless router.(Which is alsoo plugged into the other internet router/switch).
I know its confusing.
Please help.
Thanks,
Rick

I saw this area I believe but the other computers are not wireless. The computers that I would like to prohibit access to are are on the local hard lan.

I agree put the wireless router as the 1st one in line connected to your internet modem.
