If all you intend to do online from the Kindle is download ebooks you've either purchased from Amazon using another computer or emailed to your Kindle's address from a computer, the speed difference will matter very little.
If you intend to browse the ebook store, Amazon's or one of the free ones like PG or Manybooks, from your Kindle you may find WiFi preferable and should really consider "Option #2", adding a second WiFi access point. You'll still have the same "long password security issue", but you only have to successfully type it in once.

Also good to know. I probably will mostly be doing the first, and downloading chapter samples, so I suspect most of the time I won't care that it will be slower. Part of the frustration for me with having to change router settings was simply a luxury, really--I wanted to be able to be connected on impulse, esp. for those book samples! If I want to do more, I can go ahead and do the router change, but at least I won't HAVE to do it everytime (esp. since I actually have to have my husband do it, as I don't really understand his rather complicated set up).
So this seems like the easiest solution. and glad this thread helped someone else too!
