If I buy an Axim I will probably setup a wireless network at home as well. My current setup is three computers wired to a Netgear EN104TP hub, and the hub is connected to Netgear RT311 Gateway router and then to the Internet.

My idea is to buy a switch (ie. Benq 10/100 5 or 8-ports), and replace the Netgear hub because I'm out of ports, and then connect a Netgear ME102 access point to the switch.

With this setup, is all network communication being broadcasted or only wireless communication? In plain text, if I enter a password at say Hotmail from a wired computer, is that information also going out from the AP into the air?
