If I understand correctly you can block all wired clients from seeing each 
other using the DSA-3100?  I'm not familiar with this product but from a 
quick read it looks like it uses a type of "port based" VLAN - meaning the 
public port and communicate with the WAN port and the private port can 
communicate with the WAn port, the public and private ports can not 
communicate.  If you do have two clients on (for example) the public port, 
they will be able to see each other unless there is something between them 
to block those specific ports.  So, if you have two clients plugged into a 
switch, they will be able to see each other regardless of whether or not the 
3100 is plugged into the switch or not.
