Wireless G is pretty simple these days. Linksys and Netgear are some of the more popular brands and it is not too hard to find some great rebates. These do not require a service plan beyond what you are paying for your broadband connection.

Be sure to set up security on your router to avoid any issues. Some routers have this functionality turned off as tyhe default and require you to change the settings to implement the firewall, password protection, access codes and the like.
