What worked for me was to use Win XP to automatically generate an encryption key and password that I then pasted into my Lynksys WRT54G router when prompted. That made my wi-fi access point secure with WPA2 encryption.
Until you do what precedes, I suggest that you at least disable public broadcasting by your router as follows: use your browser to access your router at 192.168.1.1 (the Linksys default address) and password "admin" (also their default password); then on the menu click on the Wireless tab; then put a checkmark next to "Disable public broadacasting."
What did absolutely NOT WORK were any of Linksys' "Secure Easy Setup" or their printed instructions or their totally useless "remote setup session" for which they charged me $9.99 and never even called me back as promised after a first "technician" screwed up my initial setup that was fine except that it had no encryption.

Could a wireless router be used as a network adapter?
Yes it can be. Some companies software allows you to. But most all custom firmwares (DD-WRT and the like) allow you to do this for certain.

How do you configure my wireless router on a high bandwidth allocation?
Any router (including most models of the very inexpensive linksys WRT54G series) that is capable of running the dd-wrt firmware are capable of QOS/bandwith allocation. There aren't many netgear routers that have enough memory to run the dd-wrt firmware, but check the link and see if your particular router is in the hardware compatibility list. If it is, you can install the dd-wrt firmware on the router. Under the QOS (Quality of Service) tab you can set bandwiths, priorities, limits, etc. These can be set by MAC address, IP address, or port number. The dd-wrt firmware is a very powerful firmware, considering the entire OS will fit in the 2MB of flash available on a WRT54G and similar router. (It's a small linux distro, but you don't need to know linux. Almost everything is configurable thorugh the web interface.)
