I think I'll need to call CircuitCity and talk to a sales person before I do anything. This is all to new to me to do on my own.

A Circuit City salesperson lead me astray on my first buy. I'd recommend a local computer shop. I've also had some luck with talking to folks at Staples and RadioShack.
That said, routers are so much easier to install today. I have 2 in my house, which is 3 floors. One is on the bottom floor. It has both a wired and wireless connection.
The 2nd is on the 3rd floor. I have it set up as a repeat router, meaning it talks to the router on the 1st floor and helps carry the signal. So my kids are getting a stronger connection than they would without it.
The whole she-bang took about 10 minutes to set up. The security configuration was the biggest bugaboo. After 4 frustrating hours, I decided to limit access to the routers to the computers' MAC addresses. That took just a few minutes and is a decent workaround.
