65 down / 4 up is a decent speed for wired.
For wireless G speed, 12 down / 4 up is about as good as it will get.

It really depends on the exact Linksys model in use. For most routers, you just login with the localhost IP (192.168.x.x), enter the username/password (if any), and then locate the DNS settings. Change from automatic to the manually enter IPs 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

Most routers let you change DNS. All computers will. It's really only the Apple devices that are a PITA (and is one of the many reasons why I no longer an iPad).

This all said, Youtube buffering is usually an issue with bandwidth bottlenecking on the (usually local) network. Sometimes the near WAN (ISP) is to blame.

It can even be an issue with the browser. Consider disabling Flash, as it is an extra layer of crap. Youtube works fine with HTML5, which is natively part of every modern browser.
