From a previous discussion, but is this really what you needed to know?(I'm NOT the expert):
G is faster than B, but G is backwards compatible with B. I would get a G router if possible. Note, however, that if you have a G router and a B NIC, you are still bound by the B speed, so if you have a B NIC, you'll need a G NIC in addition to the G router. As for security, doesn't matter. Winblows is the weak point no matter what you do. For the love of God, please make sure you're on WinXP Service Pack 2. I also highly recommend an inexpensive software piece called NetPeeker. ($30 download). Good firewall program with a small footprint and no performance hits on the PC. I also reocmmend Eset Software's NOD32 antivirus program. It's also not very expensive, relatively unnoticeable footprint (Unlike Symantec which seems to suck half of your resources just to start up), and a really fine software package.
