Ive been a FON member (and node) for over several months now. They had a 
special offer on the WiFi router for awhile (something like $15 for the 
TINY router). It was totally plug-n-play - you can use it with zero setup.

By default, it creates a private (WEP) network and a separate public 
network. You can choose whether to offer free access to other FON members 
(Linus mode: thereby giving you free acess on other members' nodes) or you 
can run on "Bill" mode and make a few $).

I actually found the coverage was better than with my Netgear wireless 
bridge so I ripped out the Netgear completely.
