I haven't experienced any problems at all.
When I was trying a touch it did sound very slightly worse using it's WLAN but that was most likely internal. It didn't effect anything else.
The signal strength drops rapidly with distance so even if you have susceptible devices in your system you probably won't have problems unless the router is in close proximity to it.
If you want to try a worst case, call someone on your cellphone and sidle up to your gear and see how close you get before you hear the packets breakthrough. If you keep your router beyond that distance you should be fine since the router usually uses much less power as it isn't trying to hit a distant site. Some WLAN cards and routers allow you to adjust the output power so you can crank those down if that's available.
I really enjoy having wireless to my laptop and I bet you will too!
