Actually, from your description it sounds like you did get the subnet mask working. The subnet mask is no different on a wireless than on a wired connection and you got your wired connection working you said.
If there's a difference between your wired and wireless behavior, especially if the wireless cuts in and out, then look at the pure wireless settings, e.g., channel, frequency(2.5ghz/5ghz), bands (b/g/n).
Wireless flakeyness is often due to channel, frequence, or band conflicts with existing wireless devices and networks, especially if you enable DHCP on your router. DHCP lets the router hand out addresses to any random device that wanders by. We had some iTouch automatically connect and claim the Driver Station IP, because the router was mis-set to hand out addresses starting at .1
