      I am joining in later but from what I understood, you want to
run two wifi networks with their separate APs: guest and private. I
too have an openwrt router which I have never been able to run two
separated wifi APs on; it might be because I wanted one to be 5GHz and
one 2.4. Is there anything in the wireless network which is an
appliance that needs to access your private network? If not, consider
making your wireless by default guest and then configuring the router
to do openvpn (openwrt has the package).

Now, if I missed something else in the thread, start with this fancy
ascii diagram and make it look like what you want:

 [Modem]

   | (port1)   vlan1
 [Router]----+--------(port2)[desktop 1]
             |
             | vlan1
             +--------(port3)[Cafe au sucre]
             |
             | vlan1
             +--------(port4)[Something]
             |
             | vlan2
             +--------(port6)[Something else]
             |
             | vlan1
             +--------(port6)[WiFi]
