D-Link DI-624 concerns

I?ve wanted to setup a FTP and web server for awhile now so I?m about to make my first router purchase.
I don't have need for wireless at the moment but since I'm going to be buying a router anyway I thought it wouldn't hurt to spend a few extra dollars and get it incase I need it in the future (I?m thinking of getting a laptop eventually). I have a few questions that I couldn't find definite answers for and would appreciate any insight.

1. Since initially I'm not going to be using any wireless capabilities and would rather avoid unnecessary security risks, can I turn off the wireless so that no one can use it?
2. For wireless g speeds, does this router really perform faster than most other routers in its class? Of course I heard the 108Mbps claim. I'm not so much worried about that as I am about good speeds at far distances (150 feet for example).
3. Would you pick this router over Linksys and SMC's similar models? If not why?

TIA! 🙂

Yes to all three here, too. I love this router. You can easily turn the wireless radio off in the setup config. I replaced a Linksys WRT54G with the 624. My lost-connection issues disappeared. Plus, the thing is really fast. Absolutely no complaints here.
