I was thinking more in theory than in practice, but that answers my question
I suppose...

To control the wi-fi at the router, you will need to access the
router's internal configuration pages via a web browser. Yes, you can
and should control the router's wi-fi settings via a wired computer

inSSIDer is a tool which, with a wi-fi adapter, will detect and list
out all wi-fi network with-in the area of the "inSSIDer" based
computer. inSSIDer offers no control aspect for any router.

Yes, on my (wi-fi enabled) notebook it works fine.
I already changed my channel to 6, because the neighbourhood seems to use 1,
6 and 11. Channel 6 was used the least and the weakest.

Hi
Actually Not only that you can control the Wireless Router through the wired
computer but it is also the right way to do so.
Configuring the Router from a wireless computer ends up ,many time with a
catch22 situation.
I.e., the connection can be severed in the middle of the configuration and
you would not be able to connect to continue the configuration cause
something will mismatch.
After the Router was configured you can use insider (or manually) configure
the wireless computer.
InSSIDer can provide provide some fun info. and have few more gimmicks, but
it is Not Router configuration utility.
