It is perfectly acceptable to run both at the same time. I do at home, and have never had a problem myself.

There is no problem in using both, but Windows Firewall is superflous when you have got a Router with an integrated Firewall. They both do the same thing - block malicious INCOMING requests.
The problem is that any OUTGOING traffic is considered safe and that is a security issue you might want to address by installing a third party software firewall and disabling Windows Firewall (running two software firewalls on the same machine could cause conflicts).

It does not matter if you are connected through wireless or cable, your router can provide firewall protection for all of its ports on the LAN side.

Your routers firewall protects you whether you use the wireless option or not.
