If you like websites with a lot of Flash content on them, save your money for a few months and then look for a tablet running google's Android Honeycomb operating system. I've had an iPad on long term loan and it is a major, major pain in the anus constantly being told by websites that I can't view this or that because I don't have Flash.

As for the wireless, yes, go and get a router - but NOT a gateway or modem/router designed for ADSL. Just a simple, standalone wireless router. You don't need VM's help to set it up, you just connect it to the modem instead of having the PC connected to the modem. The router's own use manual should help you choose the appropriate security settings for wireless. Once you have it set up, an iPad will connect painlessly ... I assume an Android tablet would do likewise.
