Based on your requirements, the Synology DS220+ would be a good option for you. It comes with two drive bays, supports SSDs, and has two LAN ports that can be configured for separate networks. It also has a powerful processor that can handle streaming video and audio without any issues.
For backing up your laptops, you can use Synology's built-in backup software, or you can install a third-party backup solution such as Acronis True Image or Veeam Backup & Replication.
For remote access, Synology offers a variety of options including QuickConnect, which allows you to easily connect to your NAS from anywhere using a web browser or mobile app. You can also set up a VPN server on your NAS for secure remote access.
Overall, the DS220+ is a versatile and powerful NAS that should meet all of your needs within your budget.
