they have the same SSID, the lappy can see the router but not connect, this must be a security issue, I cannot find the same protocols on both, the linksys has (recalling mem,) WPA personal, the lappy has WPA PK?
any advise would be much appreciated (I'm not near the lappy now)

The router is fine (I have one!) but the 'S' bit is wasted as the 'Speedbooster' function only works with Broadcom based clients. You really do need to go into the router with a wired connection and try "G only" without MAC filtering and without security (WEP is most basic) then add these functions one at a time
There is a web configurator simulator here:-

This is the version of firmware I use (US restricted channel version) as it is ahead of the European one, but his hardware may be V4 which is slightly different and will be a version number such as 1.05.2.
