WiFi and wired are on different subnets.  Notice the third number in 
192.168.x.y => X=1 for wired and X=2 for WiFi.

You need to either:

1) configure your router to bridge between the two subnets.
2) configure WiFi DHCP on router to use 192.168.1.z
3) Change netmask from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0

Exactly how this is done depends on the router software.
