You should use WPA encryption in preference to WEP. It is simpler to set up and just generally zippier.

To answer the original question - it's not hard at all, just a matter of setting the security type you want and a password in the Router, then adding the same settings to the laptop. The instructions you get with the router should explain this clearly.

You won't need to put any such settings into the desktop PC if you connect to the router by cable.
