Re: Advices For Wifi Newbie?
1. I would recommend "G". Speed and security are different things, but G is 54mbps while B is 11mbps.
2. Yes, its called google 
3. Depending on the setup and router, some wireless routers have a switch built in for wired connections. For wireless devices, laptops need a wireless card, and devices like an xbox need a wireless to ethernet adapter.
4. Linksys
5. CRT moniters emit radiation. Cell phones emit radiation. Don't worry about it.
6. You can, but it's illegal.
7. Can't answer that, dunno.
8. Wireless encryption (see maunals), and the obvious firewalls. You could also use monitering apps like Snort to see who is on your wireless network. (ID'ed by MAC address)
A GENERAL TIP: Don't use any other devices that use the same frequrncy of your wireless routers. (IE: 2.4 ghz phone and a 2.4ghz router)
Another thing, me thinks only half of these questions are on the right board.
