If you've ever hooked up a wireless device on your network, you pretty much know what to expect, it's not complicated, provided you know your router name and have the password for the wireless.
If you've never done this before, your wireless may not be turned on, it's not hard to set up, just have to dig into the menus and set it up. Default passwords are often the serial number of the router, or are generic "admin/password" type setups. I changed my password to a phrase I know, so when others come and want to use the wifi, I can enter it myself and not have to go look up the number. I think I use PSK or WPA-2 or something like that for security, WEP and open are not very secure, go with the highest level all your devices support. And yes, I use the Tivo brand access point, it works. I never played around with other brands, some work, some don't, and some work to varying degrees. For a few extra bucks, I shelled out the higher price just to avoid the issues.
