All you need is the router. We just hooked up my new laptop this week. It was pretty easy...surprisingly since we're not technologically inclined either!

I also like Linksys. We got a free one from our internet provider but it's not Linksys.
Make very sure you have your security features enabled. When choosing passwords, used capital letters, lower case, and numbers.
Anyone closeby your house can jump on your connection if you don't enable your security features. May not sound like a big deal but if your neighbor decides to use your connection to download music or operate a web server, you'll notice the difference.

I would suggest the same - and to make sure you get a linksys that supports G (rather than a B)
