Follow the instructions that came with the router to the letter. I too have a buffalo and found the manual pretty good. I now have a desktop wired and 2 laptops and a palmtop all wireless. Make sure you enable encription AND set the the network name (SSID) and network key to something different to the defaults otherwise anyone nearby will be able to connect to your network with just a bit of guesswork. By the way, set up the wireless on the router whilst still wired then set up your laptop. Also keep a note of your settings for future reference as the key especially will be blanked out when you try to view it.
