IT should be OK, although it may be very slow in comparison to the wire if there is any interference.
The caution against doing the upgrade on the router is that if it looses the signal, then the firmware may not get completely burned and you end up with a brick. It's a brick with an antenna on it, but a brick nonetheless.
