on a side note i love Cisco chip sets in the links routers. dd-wrt firmware makes them a lot more stable and you can even turn it into a wireless repeater to extend your range of other routers or creatively acquire internet from the neighbors with the client bridge but that a chapter out of my advanced networking book :p

I was getting ready to reply to the OP myself, but you seem to know where you're going. The Cisco M10 is a cosmetically disguised Linksys E1000. I can quickly lay hands on a .pdf of the manual/user guide if you need it. I know it has instructions for manual setup.

That's a good start. I'm thinking there's a flash/USB/thumb-drive that comes with the router for setting up the individual computers? Is this correct, OP?
Of course another simple solution might be to have this particular guest connect by cable rather than wireless, if that's practical. There should be 4 cabled LAN connections available....

Mblah, not all computers can use the same type of encryption on the router. If you're using WPA, her computer might not be able to use WPA and might only be able to use WEP. If you're using WPA, change it to WEP and see if she can connect that way.
Although, I wouldn't recommend WEP because the password can easily be cracked by outsiders.

Can she be connected via cable at the same time as I am using the wifi??

I'm a big fan of DD-WRT. I have a handful of routers I've used it on in various settings and purposes, including repeaters and bridges. But it's not recommended for users who've been led to believe that you can set up a network by pushing a button. No offense to the OP....
