You've given the wireless router two interfaces in the same network
(now you've changed the netmask), which has no doubt confused it. You
would probably be best to put your netmask back the way it was.

You said in reply to Jacqui earlier that hosts in 192.168.11 were able
to ping 192.168.1.7, but I think you posted the wrong netstat, i.e.
from a host in 192.168.11.

You might want to check, as unless you've made a change to your
routing when 192.168.1.7 gets a packet from somewhere in 192.168.11 it
will send it to 192.168.1.1 to forward it, and 192.168.1.1 won't know
where to send it.
