    The six PCs are assigned private IP addresses via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

    Yes, the wireless router uses Network Address Translation. (NAT)

    Explanation:

    Network Address Translation. (NAT) allows a private unregistered network to connect to the internet using one IP address. It is the role of DHCP to assign the private IP addresses to all 6 PCs in the wireless LAN. NAT allows communication between these two different networks by translating the private IP address into a registered public IP address for internet access.
