You can turn wi-fi completely off through a menu or with the switch, and when you turn the switch back to 'on' it will go back to the menu setting you had it on before (standby, or completely on). You can also turn the 3G off entirely in the menu, which I've done since the access out here isn't good and it drains the battery.
There is also a menu option for network settings. That's where you can configure your wireless networks and enter passwords. You *should* only have to do it once per network, and the settings will be maintained. The user guide says you can have up to 20 configured. It will automatically try to connect to whatever connection is available that you connected to last, but you can also go right back to network settings and pick the one you want to connect to.
My connection here is unsecured. Some people seem to have trouble with specific kinds of routers. There are a few threads in the Sony forum you can look through to get an idea about the wireless problems people have had.

Thanks a lot, that's exactly what I wanted to know.
