I've installed wireless routers of many brands in folks homes. Most set up easily. The only pains I've found are Netgear. A few times we could never get it working and just returned it for a Linksys or Belkin or whatever, and then got right on.

I'm not a tech kinda guy. But I know how to read manuals and quick set-up guides and catch on pretty quick. But I'd say avoid Netgear from my experience. Many results during set-up did not match what the book said was supposed to happen.
