Windows Connect Now (WCN) allows you to save off your wireless network
settings to a flash drive. Then just plug in the flash drive to your clients
and WCN will auto configure them. It works very well.

If you don't want to do that you could simply copy-n-paste your wireless
encryption key to a flash drive then copy-n-paste the key back to your PC or
PCs.
