I see tons of videos dealing with WEP cracking, but actaully none of them teach about how Wifis work. They are just a bunch of commands thrown at the screen. Where can I learn about the inner mechanics of wifis? Can you recommend a website or a book?

You could, if you only want a decent wifi signal upstairs, run.
If you then want wifi upstairs you can add a seperate access point hanging off the switch.
Ports upstairs to do with as you wish.

Is it possible for a wifi host to filter wifi service by a computer's local ip, similar to how it's possible to filter wifi clients by MAC Address?
Thanks.

A firewall at the WiFi level..
However, most WiFi routers and access points are either firewalls or connected to a firewall.
Typically a WiFi host, or router, will actually assign each client an individual IP address.

I bought an iPad 2 + WiFi last Christmas.
And now, I'm wondering if there's any chance I can connect my iPad to internet.
Not a WiFi.
Like if there's any wire that can be bought to connect to internet.

I have a wifi antenna. There's a bunch of free wifi around but there is only one area of my house that can access it. Can I use the antenna and set up a router using the existing wifi. To "repeat" the signal?

Hello
I see both terms used, and I was wondering what the difference is between a wifi router, and a wifi access point. Does the latter only create a LAN, with no way to connect the wifi box with a second network?
Thank you.

A WiFi router is a WiFi access point with a built address, typically provided by your ISP.
And for the most part consumers only use WiFi Routers.
