My mate has NTL on his main pc and he has bought a wireless router for it as his 2 house mates have laptops. They have built in wireless. How easy is it to set up the 2 laptops? What should i do? Is it just a matter of turning the Laptops on and the internet appears? Any help would be great.

It's very easy. If they're running XP with SP2, it'll display a popup balloon saying "Wireless networks detected" pretty much as soon as the PC boots up. You then click the balloon and a list of available networks appears - you then double-click your network and it'll ask for the WEP/WPA key if the router has one configured and then that's it, job done.
If they're running MacOS or Linux then I'll be honest, I've got no idea. If they're not running XP SP2 then it's a bit of a pain but there's no excuse for not using SP2 these days anyway.
