I'm considering getting a wireless accesspoint for in my rooms. We live in a very old building with thick walls and in my rooms (2 floors up from the router and 1 floor up from the extender/repeater) wifi reception often fails.

The computer store advised me to get another repeater/extender but the only place on my floor with a decent wifi reception is two foot thick walls away from my bedroom and I think that won't solve my problem. An access point I could put in the doorway between my two rooms.

The only thing that's holding me back is the difficulty of setting it up. I've looked through the manual of one access point and it seems to me that it's not easy to set up. But I also know some manuals make things look more difficult than they are.

Has anyone got experience with setting up an access point? Is it easy to do for someone who doesn't know much about setting those things up? Is there any brand better or easier to set up than others?
