If you assign a manual address on a computer, you need to ensure the router won't be trying to auto allocate that to another device. Look in the router's admin panel settings for a means to exclude the IP from allocation. Sometimes that can be as simple as using something in the early numbers i.e. 192.168.1.50-75 instead of the default range it issues 192.168.1 100+ (your IP range may be different, that's an example).

Wireless is a funny thing with no easy answers. Have a look and see that your lappy's wireless and other drivers are current versions (manufacturer rather than Microsoft generic are usually better). You might also want to see that the router's firmware is a latest version.
