I have never used the wi fi away from my home.
Do I just switch the laptop on and let it search for a signal.
Will the hotel not have a security that will require a password to access.
Not all the rooms in the hotel have free wi fi some rooms have to pay.

Exactly as you said. Switch your laptop on, and search for a wireless
network.

Most likely, the hotel you're staying in will also give you
instructions.

Enjoy!

Just turn it on and it will work. The only difference is that your
client radio is *capeable* of doing 14 channels instead of 11.
However, the channel of choice is not your decision. That access
point is configured for channels 1 thru 11 and that's what you're
client radio will use. Although strictly speaking, your client radio
is not 100% FCC legal, it will not cause any interference if used
normally.

Where you might get into trouble is when running an ad-hoc
(peer-to-peer) network set to channels 12-14. Another possible
problem is running Netsumbler, which sends probe requests on all
channels including 12-14. I would avoid these.

As for proceedures, all hotels have instruction pages as to how one
should use their system. Sometimes, these instructions are on their
web pages.

14 is Japan only is it not?

When I set my WRT54Gs to 14 (not strictly legal) they will only do 'b'
speeds, is there a reason for this ?

Yes. Japan has 14 channels.

As far as I know, there's no reason it should reduce speed. However,
Japan xmit power is limited to 10mw/Mhz EIRP while the US allows 4
watts EIRP. The speed reduction you're seeing might be a side effect
of this drop in tx power from its normal 35mw to 10mw.
