Hiding Lan from Wireless

We have a small office network of around 6-7 computers and we want to provide free wifi to our customers with devolo dlan plugs from our router, the problem is that when testing it I can access the entire lan and till system from a wireless device. The router has a wireless isolation feature but that doesn't pass over to these dlan adapters...

I have been reading up about getting a second router and running it behind the first one to create two seperate lans. I have some experience with basic router operations i.e assigning ips and port forwarding, but this seems more complex.

Ive read I need a router with a wan port for this, can anyone recommend a relatively inexpensive one? our current router is a netgear DG834PN and to be completely honest i'm not really sure where to start

I could be barking up the wrong tree entirely so if anyone has any other suggestions i'd be grateful
 
a secondary router is by far the cheapest option, lock it down then set up the firewall on the secondary router so that the clients can only access the gateway on your main network rather than the whole subnet.

Something like the draytek 2830 would be good for doing this with one box if you've got separate access points since you can set up VLANs per port / VLAN tag
