Help please.What little hair I have got is going

Have Virgin as broadband provider and their wireless router.Has been working OK and then I kept losing internet access.

Received a new router but that's not the problem as other laptops receive a connection from it.

Its's not my laptop as I can get connected via other wireless networks

It's not Virgin as connected direct to modem it works

As soon as my laptop starts searching for a signal it disconnects any one else who is using the net

When I can get online I'm on for 2 to 3 minutes then it goes for good or can't get on at all-but it shows I'm connected on the screen!!!

If I'm connected direct with ethernet cable via the router same problem

UK Virgin helpline-tried and no joy-they think it's the lap top

Any ideas?
