Wireless Router

Hey; how easy is a wireless router to set up? My laptop has Bluetooth, but is it worth investing �60 or whatever in a wireless connection. Has anyone had any problems setting them up?
Thanks a lot,
Michael

just like when you set up your ISP with your modem.
At some point in the set-up - a decent router will ask you if you wish to set encryption. I chose the WEP 128 bit myself -
it created it - I entered a password - and that was me.
I wrote down the 26 digit code the router set up - keep it handy just in case you need it.
