I don't know about game consoles, but how about the following setup:

* wired and wireless network on separate subnet
* wired network is routed to the internet
* wireless network is not routed
* OpenVPN server on the wifi router
* OpenVPN client on the laptops
* OpenVPN network is routed to the internet and to the wired network

This config is a bit paranoid, I know. But I can't imagine any script
kiddie that would break a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key in less then the lifetime
of the universe.
