connecting to new network

Must be a book on this, but I don't know why one can go into Starbucks and connect. I wached our guru mess with int adddress and MAC and encryption and WAP and all that stuff. Has this something to do with signing in as Guest or Anonymus?

We want to put a router in summer cottage so guests/renters can connect.(i know a wire works -we want wireless) What must we

-do in setting up router

--say about what visitors -must have for hardware - wireless card type,etc. -must do to their connection software

-anything else.

I guess you get what we want to set up. And how little I know about it:)
