One last question. Do I want to enable the Wireless MAC filter? It is disabled by default.
You could, but you would have to add your PSP's MAC address to the whitelist, as well as any other PSPs or computers that would be connecting wirelessly.
Since it just means a pain in the ass for you, and an attacker could just spoof their MAC address anyway, I would recommend not bothering with it...

I know this has been covered approximately one thousand and two times, but what exactly do I need to set up a wireless network and have an access point in my house? I have a cable modem, so would this:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...8237324-8921717
Do the job? And if so, what all must I do to get it going? Is it as simple as installing drivers, plugging the cable modem to the wireless router, and then bam, it's on like Donkey Kong?
Yep, that will work. I assume your cable modem is plugged directly into your computer.
If you're using DHCP on the cable modem it should be as easy as plugging the modem into the router via ethernet, then plugging the computer into the router via ethernet. No drivers should be necessary. Then you open a web browser and put the URL of the router in, so you can configure it (the manual should explain this) and set up things like wireless security.
Then you should be good to go - just need to configure the wireless devices to use your network, and off you go...
Edit: I see that MrBob has also recommended the WRT54G instead - I had problems with it over a year ago and had to return mine, but I think that now it's a solid router and there are various 3rd party firmwares for it which are nice, this is what I was going to recommend you purchase instead...
