I need advice on using a wireless router on a laptop please

Hi everyone,

I'm really hoping that some of you more IT savy people will be able to help me out!

We bought a new laptop last weekend and a Netgear WNB2100 Wireless Router. We were assured it was simply a case of 'plug & go' and that we'd be able to use the laptop wirelessly in any room of our home.

However, after connecting it all up as directed, we now seem unable to get the net to work on the laptop - even when we're in the same room as the router & main PC.

We have managed to get the net on the laptop via the router for about a day, but the connection kept being lost. Today however, we can't seem to get the connection at all! The PC's connected to the net ok though.

The laptop's worked ok connected to the main internet connection, so we presume the problem must be with the router?

If any of you have any pearls of wisdom on how we can resolve this, we'd be forever grateful!

Many thanks in advance
