I saw in the Radio options that there is a remote connection option -
Seems like that wuld send me out onto the internet and back to my home
network to connect - Around your elbow kind of thing.

I want a separate wireless subnet because all of our computers with any
real data on them are on the wired leg of the LAN. Until just recently
when I had to add secured wireless AP's to the wired leg of the LAN to
be able to connect to the SqueezeServer with the SB Radio, I did not
have any wireless connection to the LAN where the real data is stored.
Even now, the only thing that is set up to access the secured wireless
on the wired LAN is the SB Radio.

All other wireless devices are on the separate-subnet leg of the LAN,
which is not secured. Those devices are 2 SB3's, 1 SB Boom, 1 netbook
and 2 smartphones. The SB's connect fine to the SB Server on the wired
LAN. Even the Android Smartphones using SqueezeCommander can find the
server - But not the SB Radio, so it's on the wired LAn subnet.

There is no real data on either the phones or the netbook - The
wireless connection on the separate subnet is just used for internet
connectivity - I do not want them to have access to the wired
computers.

Also, when our daughters visit, or when our friends or their friends
are here with their wireless devices - Everybody has a smartphone now,
it seems - There is in effect an open "Guest" connection available.

In short, I want to be able to use my SB Radio wirelessly, which
necessitites a secured AP on the primary LAN subnet. I also want
wireless devices, whatever they are, to have open/unsecured access to
the internet, which necessitates a separate-subnet wireless router
connected to my wired LAN.

It's a lot of stuff, but it does a great job and as I said earlier, a
user would just see Open and Secured as wireless connection choices -
And if anyone turns on a laptop or smartphone in our house, it will
usually automatically connect to the open wireless network, so most of
the time, users don't even have to choose between the two networks..
