Now that's interesting.  In my own setup, I simply use the router as a 
wireless access point, and I disable its DHCP server so as to use the 
one on my gateway.  I've just verified with wireshark on my gateway that 
the router isn't NATing anything; all packets from my wireless systems 
show up at the gateway with their assigned 192.168.3.0/24 addresses.

Maybe the router doesn't NAT unless the wireless node has an IP address 
that it assigned.  Is 192.168.3.2 perhaps a fixed IP address that one of 
your wireless systems is using ?
