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

I wrote down the 26 digit code the router set up - keep it handy just in case you need it.
