Now that I've had some time I've thought this through and have corrected the issue without resorting to a single subnet - the key reason I implemented two to begin with (which I should have mentioned at the outset) is that the 192.168.168.x subnet provides gigabit connectivity between all PCs and NAS devices. Changing to a single subnet would force the 10/100 broadband router into the equation, which, if I'm not mistaken will adversely impact network performance when copying between two devices on the subnet etc - from memory gigabit NICS will negotiate down to the lowest common denominator on the network, effectively turning everything into a 10/100 network.
The wireless EOP is a Netcomm NP290W. I now have it configured to allow wireless access to slimserver (looking forward to the N800, in the meantime my PDA will suffice). If I'm wrong about the single subnet performance issue I'll happily implement it.
