ntl BB and wireless router

hi, i hope someone can help as im completely lost now : s
to give a bit of background, i just bought a new laptop and it is meant to be wireless so i thought i would get a wireless router so i can use it and my desktop in another room. the BB is working fine on both pc's connected via cable but i have to unplug one to use the other and it is a bit annoying sometimes

i bought a Belkin Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway Router 802.11b 54g, i followed the instructions that came with it and couldnt get it to connect at all, the lights were on apart from the WAN light, i called belkin tech support and they said it was faulty and i should return it.

i then bought a linksys wireless B broadband router and im getting the same sort of problem, the power and wireless b lights are on and the internet light but my laptop wont seem to pick up the signal at all.

its a new laptop so i assume the wireless bit works as its always saying wireless connection not connected when i log on, i was just wondering does it have to be activated or something?

i hope someone can help beacuse its really starting to get the better of me and i can see myself with an expensive frisbeen soon

many thanks
