Is it just a case of daisy chaining the two routers and how do I
ensure that I'm not degrading the security of my whole system by
putting an old router with just WEP encrption back into the system.
The old router would be used solely for connecting the Sqeezebox.


You can't. . Once you go down to WEP you have opened the system.

Probably beyond me but is there no way of configuring the firewall so that
the only data that could be hacked into was the streamed audio? (Forgive me
if this is a stupid question but my knowledge of routers and firewalls is
pretty limited).

What you could do is get a /third/ router, and attach the WEP-only
router to its WAN port. It would then be 'outside' the firewall in
the 3rd router's firewall, and you could configure the router to allow
only certain ports.
