Sorry Rob but I dont believe a firewall or an AV package would ever stop you from seeing a Wireless connection,
If the wireless is enabled on the laptop then check the router is set to broadcast the SSID and that the security, for now is set to disabled,
There are 2 ways to connect your laptop to a wireless router, one is using the wireless NIC's own software and the other is using what is called Windows Zero Config, the method for configuring either is different and I would need to know before hand which method your using.
By default the Windows Zero Config is disabled and needs to be turned on in services and set to automatically start at bootup.
